Yes this piece of information is an effective example of persuasion in which the former
prime minister has delivered a speech of apology on behalf of the Australian parliament
in which he is addressing to all the people especially pointing out the indigenous people.
In which he is using different apology terminologies. At first he is apologizing about the
past and at the same time giving them hope of the bright future and also assuring them
that any discrimination will not happen in future. And I think first apologizing and then
big hopes about future is the good strategy of winning the language game.
