Acknowledgement of Country
We acknowledge that this paper is made and distributed on the land of the Gadigal people of the Eora nation. That land, as with all lands Australia is built on, was not ceded but rather violently dispossessed, and continues to
occupied. This edition is concerned with the 2019 USyd SRC Election, and yet there should be no misgivings regarding its comparative importance in today’s political world. In just the last week, the Djab Wurrung people in
‘Victoria’ have reached a crescendo in their fight to protect sacred land from a new highway project that would remove 3000 trees including sacred birthing trees. The Queensland government extinguished the native title claims
of the Wangan and Jagalingou people’s over 1385 hectares of land to smooth the passage of the Adani mine — to become the Southern Hemisphere’s largest open cut mine. Closer to Camperdown, and only late last year, new USyd
student housing was announced, to be built on the now demolished Block in Redfern, which has housed generations of First Nations families. As we go about our days, we must remember that settler colonialism is alive
and well, and that there is always more to be done. In acknowledging the land that we learn on as students, we should commit to use our skills to help remedy this historical fact.
Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
