                          I would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country across this continent. I pay my deepest respects to Elders past and present. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are the original storytellers, educators, and change makers of Country. For generations, they have been on the frontlines in the fight for justice, truth, and sovereignty. Sovereignty has never been ceded. This always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
