Francesca Rendle-Short acknowledges the people of the Woi wurrung and Boon wurrung language groups of the eastern Kulin Nations on whose unceded lands she lives and works. She acknowledges the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. She pays my respects to Elders past and present, as well as to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the wider Melbourne community and beyond.
