I acknowledge the Sovereign Custodians of the land on which I live and work,  the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and the neighbouring Bunurong Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation. I pay my respects to their Elders past and present. This is stolen land and sovereignty was never ceded. It always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
