I respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians of this land. I recognise the Wadawurrung and Dja-Dja Wurrung People of the Kulin Nation as the rightful Custodians of the land of which I live and work. I recognise and respect their continual connection to the land, waters, and the environment, both physically and spiritually. I pay respects to Elders past, present and emerging, and extend this to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People. Australia was wrongly founded on the genocide and dispossession of First Nations Peoples. Sovereignty was never ceded.
