Original toot date: 27 January, 2023

Yesterday, I had the privilege and honour of attending Bunjil’s Marroun Healing Ceremony 2023. It was a moving day not just of mourning, but a day filled with hope of creating a truly inclusive future for everyone in our community and our country.
Thank you Aunty Di (Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Elder; Dianne Kerr) for you beautifully heartfelt welcome and sharing what the day means to you.
Thank you Courtney Ugle of the Noongar mob and the AFLW for sharing your deeply personal and difficult story and for being an example of what we can achieve despite adversity and continuing to seek an inclusive and equal community for all.
Thank you Nhanbu Togip for teaching us your traditional dance and including us in your customs, it was an honor to be taught by you.
Thank you David Arden for your sharing your music; music that is deeply personal and enlightening.
Finally, thank you Moonee Valley City Council for hosting the event, working tirelessly to bring healing to our Indigenous communities and being an example to aspire to.

I write to you from Wurundjeri Country in Naarm. I stand with our First Nations People. I support an Indigenous Voice to Parliament. I support changing the date of Australia Day. I acknowledge this land was stolen and it's sovereignty never ceded.
Will you join me in being a voice for Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander people?
