Country Needs People - Supporter Voices

The native Australian peoples have been custodians of this land for thousands of years. They know it far better than we think we do (hence the bushfires in Tasmania, which could have been avoided if the government had listened to the local Aboriginals). It is only right that they should be included in the caretaking of this land.

Country Needs People is a national not-for-profit organisation born from the support of hundreds of Traditional Owners around the country.

We pay our respects to all the First Nations people around Australia and their unbroken commitment to keep Country strong on land and sea. We acknowledge Indigenous partners, Traditional Owners, Elders past, present and emerging and extend our appreciation of their support and guidance of our daily work.

ALWAYS WAS, ALWAYS WILL BE, ABORIGINAL LAND.
