Acknowledgement of Country

I acknowledge the Kulin Nation’s Yaluk-ut Weelam clan of the Boon Wurrung people as custodians of the lands, waterways and skies where I live and work. I pay my respect to their Elders past, present and emerging. I recognise their culture as the oldest living culture and, in so doing, recognise its strength and resilience against the trauma of colonisation. I voted for their voice. Sovereignty has never been ceded.
