We acknowledge that It is stolen land, and that Indigenous Australians are the rightful, sovereign custodians of all Australia. We acknowledge that the discrimination and genocidal practices that have been waged against Aboriginal people since white invasion continue still, and for this we are deeply sorry. We apologise and express shame over the dispossession, marginalisation and attempted genocide of Aboriginal Australians. We also apologise and express shame at the Government's refusal to demonstrate meaningful regret towards Indigenous Australians. We demand an end to all racism in Australia.
