Today is a day Australians pause to reflect on and celebrate the unique qualities of our nation. For many it is also a painful and difficult day.
Today I join in acknowledging the many and varied cultures that make up our modern Australian nation.
At the same time, I pay special tribute to our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander brothers and sisters and honour them as the custodians of the oldest living culture on the planet.
May you, Australia's First Nations peoples, celebrate your strength and resilience in a fight that sadly is far from over.
