TRADITIONAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 

I wish to respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land where I live, work and study, the Kulin Nation people, and pay my respects to their Elders past, present and future.    I also acknowledge I am living on stolen ground, the land we now know as Australia, and that sovereignty was never ceded.   I celebrate First Australian history and the survival of the world’s oldest continuous culture and extend my deepest apologies for the horrific transgressions of my ancestors. I am sorry.   I recognise the vital role of Treaty and Uluru Statement, and openly support Indigenous People's Voice in all areas including the Constitution.  I pray for Indigenous Equity and world peace.
