When we first got settled into the house I didn’t even know how to turn on a tap or the electricity to use the washing machine. Having grown up in a village town in Vietnam where everything was run off a river, these were just some of the differences I experienced.
Acknowledgement of country
We acknowledge the traditional custodians of all the lands on which we meet, work and live and recognise that this land has always been and always will be Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land.
Multicultural Australia respects and values Australia’s First Nation peoples’ enormous resilience, courage, determination and often unrecognized contributions to this country’s social and economic development. We walk together in solidarity in the shared pain of the past and with shared hope for the future.
