 Reconciliation is an acknowledgement of, I guess, not so much ownership of the land but kinship with the land. Respect for the thousands, tens of thousands of years that I guess my culture had or has with Australia. Reconciliation, I think, is a process of moving forward and at the same time raising awareness and recognising what Indigenous culture and history means. The reconciliation plan is the result of quite a number of years of a group of staff coming together who put together practical goals and objectives that staff could follow and in this way contribute to the process of reconciliation. My family comes from up in Far North, New South Wales. My father was born in Warris Creek, so we're Camilloroi people. The other part of my family is Irish descent and when I went to Ireland I felt a sort of a feeling of belonging but not on the same scale as I feel out in the bush here in Australia. There's an emotional response, something in your gut that I feel when I'm in the bush or anywhere really in Australia. I think having a reconciliation action plan in the department is only one step towards in this process of reconciliation and it's a very large process so there's still a lot more to be done and that can be done. Reconciliation needs to be pursued. We need to do, we need to acknowledge, as I said, what's occurred, what's going on and move forward as a country, as a people. I think the department has done a really good job in providing the opportunity for the group of staff to come together and putting the reconciliation action plan together and I recommend that all staff read the plan and see how they can contribute.
