I would like to acknowledge the Wurundjeri people as the traditional custodians of the land, waterways and skies where I gratefully live. I would also like to pay deep respect to the Elders both past and present and emerging of the Kulin Nation and extend the respect to all other First Nations people. I thank them for their generosity in allowing me to be here today. Sovereignty was never ceded. It always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
