Australia's aboriginal men say sorry
Updated
Male Aboriginal leaders from across Australia have apologised to their families and specifically to women for violence and abuse.
The men have spent the last three days at a health and leadership conference near Alice Springs to discuss their response to the Federal Intervention policy.
They say they've been unfairly painted as rapists, child abusers and wife-beaters by the Government and the media.
But the men agreed they needed to take responsibility for violence in Aboriginal families and passed a resolution saying sorry for allowing it to happen.
Senior figures from the Intervention and Intervention review panel were at the conference to hear the apology and accept the resolutions.
