'Nelson stole my words' in sorry speech

OPPOSITION leader Brendan Nelson has been accused of ripping off a woman's words in his controversial speech on the apology to the Aboriginal population.

Faye Lynam, a member of the stolen Generations who now lives in the northern Victorian town of Shepparton, slammed Brendan Nelson's speech, which used her own history in an attempt to justify that some "good" came about from the removal of Aboriginal children.
