I acknowledge the Darkinjung, Dharawal, Dharug, Gundungurra, Wanaruah, Wiradjuri and other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the Traditional Custodians of the land in which I live and work. I recognise their continuing connection to lands, waters and communities. I also endeavour to show my respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, and to Elders both past and present, through thoughtful approaches to my work, and seeking to shape our nation into one where Aboriginal people are included socially, culturally and economically.
