I acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation as the traditional owners of the land on which I stand.

 I acknowledge their ancestor’s past, present and emerging and I extend that respect to all aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of the land on which this document is read. 

 I also acknowledge the damage that colonisation has done, and continues to do to this land and all peoples who share and care for it.

​

 I recognise my privilege as a man and the added safety that brings me.
I would like to acknowledge the gender injustice still prevalent in Australian society. I would like to acknowledge my white privilege and the benefits that are accrued because of my gender;  
in the name of a fair society, I see the injustice of this positioning -
this project is made from the stance of an attempt to address inequity.
