Acknowledgement of country
 

I would like to acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders people as the traditional custodians of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and community.

I would like to also pay my respect to elders past, present and emerging and stand together with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders leaders of today and tomorrow.
