Acknowledgement of Country
I acknowledge the Turrbal and Jagera people - the traditional custodians of Meanjin (Brisbane) - and their connections to land, sea and community; where the songlines, stories, songs, ancestors and dreamings of First Nations peoples continue to resonate. I pay my respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
