I acknowledge the traditional owners and in particular the Turrbal and Jagera peoples as the traditional custodians of the land, waters and sky in the places where I live, work, study and play. I acknowledge that their Sovereignty was never ceded. I pay my respects to their Elders past, present, and emerging.

Many thanks to my patients, family and colleagues for their inspiration and support and with thanks and acknowledgement to the awesome hive mind that is GPDU.
