Our national identity is a beautiful fusion of many different cultures. As Australians we can all be proud and appreciate the history of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, the oldest living civilisation on earth. To secure justice and protection for all Australians, we must stand together because the momentum for change lies in the unity of all people seeking positive action.
We rise through the synergy of togetherness and harmony. A man and a woman stand in solidarity to harness their unique strengths. They continue a journey of change to honour and celebrate elders and all those who have stood before us.
The brolga reminds us of the wisdom of storytelling, and the invaluable sense of truth that emerges when we value and nurture local knowledge of Country. The crocodile represents the power of primordial wisdom, giving us a sense of courage to amplify our voices and embed systemic change through recognition and respect of ancient culture and traditional ways.
Together we rise! The gift of wings appear to elevate the cause, affirming our ability to rise up – we look to the sky, a deep hue of stormy blue, divine guidance from the sun, moon and stars above, shining bright as an eternal source of life, inspiring an unwavering sense of hope and love to move forward as one. - Luke Mallie
