Rudd's warning on second Stolen Generation

Nearly 10 years after Kevin Rudd said sorry to the Stolen Generation he is warning more needs to be done to stop a second wave emerging.

The former prime minister believes priority should be given to how young indigenous people are treated when they are separated from their immediate family because of abuse or neglect.

Better use should be made of wider families and kinship groups, he said.

"This is an area which needs a lot more effort," he told ABC radio from New York on National Sorry Day.
