Closing the Gap
I begin by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which we meet and I pay my respects to their elders past, present and emerging.
I acknowledge our outstanding Minister for Indigenous Australians, Senator McCarthy.
Together with First Nations Members and Senators, from across our Parliament.
We all join in welcoming members of the Stolen Generations and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders here in the Chamber today.
You enhance this place with your presence.
