I pay my deep respect, acknowledgement and gratitude to the Traditional Custodians of the unceded land on which I now live - Gubbi Gubbi Country - past, present and emerging, and I extend this to the many nations throughout what is now called Australia, where I was born. I acknowledge that this land has never been ceded. It was and always will be, Aboriginal Land.

I also wish to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of ALL the unceded lands on our beautiful planet Earth, who have suffered the agony of colonization and all that entails, and that their plight and fight for Freedom and Sovereignty is on-going.

WE ARE NOT FREE UNTIL ALL OF US ARE FREE
