In the spirit of reconciliation, Missing Perspectives acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea, and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past, present and emerging and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people today. We acknowledge that land in Australia was never ceded and always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
