I acknowledge the Sovereign Custodians of these lands we call Australia on which we live, love, work and play. I pay respect to all First Nations Elders past and present and to all First Nations peoples and Custodians, recognising that sovereignty was never ceded. For me, it is a privilege to be a guest on these lands we call Australia. ALWAYS WAS. ALWAYS WILL BE.
