Paddy Pallin appreciates the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture across this country. We recognise the deep antiquity of their occupation of this country, and we are grateful for their many millennia of stewardship and care of it.

We regret the pain and hardship inflicted upon Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people since colonization of this country, and we admire the strength and resilience of their people and culture.

We offer our utmost respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and Elders, past, present and emerging.

We acknowledge that this country is their Country.

Always was, always will be.
