    GAZA CITY, GAZA - OCTOBER 7:A man walks past buildings destroyed by Israeli airstrikes on October 7, 2026 in Gaza City, Gaza, on the third anniversary of the Hamas-led 2023 attacks that sparked Israel's devastating war of retaliation in Gaza. A humanitarian crisis now prevails in the Palestinian territory, with most of its population having been displaced in the last three years. A purported ceasefire was agreed to in October 2025, but Israel has continued aerial attacks multiple times per week, citing the threat posed by Hamas. Last week, Gaza's Health Ministry declared that the Palestinian death toll from the war had surpassed 74,000. (Photo by Ahmad Hasaballah/Getty Images)

Acknowledgement of Country

First Nations peoples are the continuing custodians of the lands, waters and skies of this continent, of which sovereignty was never ceded.

We recognise the strength and intergenerational resilience of Elders, and honour the culture and wisdom that they have passed on to future generations.

We continue to fight for Indigenous Rights and stand in solidarity with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, acknowledging the ongoing impacts of colonisation and human rights abuses which disproportionately impact on First Nations peoples.

Always was, always will be.
