We offer our deepest respect to the traditional custodians of this land, the muwinina people from nipaluna/Hobart and the palawa people more generally across lutruwita/Tasmania.

We pay our respects to all traditional elders around Australia: past, present and emerging.

We also acknowledge today’s Tasmanian Aboriginal community

as the descendants of the original inhabitants of this island,

to whom we need to listen and from whom we must learn to respect

their Lore, Culture and Country in order to come together as one.
