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.
