Thalidomide: News
Australia’s prime minister Anthony Albanese has given a national apology to survivors of the thalidomide scandal and their families. “This apology takes in one of the darkest chapters in Australia’s medical history,” Anthony Albanese told parliament on Wednesday. “To the survivors – we apologise for the pain thalidomide has inflicted on each and every one of you each and every day. We are sorry. We are more sorry than we can say,” Mr Albanese said, addressing a crowd of survivors and their families in the chamber. It is the first time the government has acknowledged its role in the tragedy.
