I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of this land where I work, play and live, the Gubbi Gubbi (Kabi Kabi) people. I acknowledge their spiritual and cultural belonging and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. I acknowledge their trials, hardships and losses and pay my respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

I acknowledge and respect everyone’s right to freely identify and affirm their sexual or romantic orientation and gender identity, including terms such as lesbian, gay, transgender, non-binary, gender diverse, genderqueer, queer, aromantic, asexual, bisexual, pansexual, sistergirls and brotherboys. I support the rights of people born with intersex variations to be free from discrimination and mistreatment on the basis of their sex characteristics.
