Dear <Local Member>,
I will be celebrating the achievements of Indigenous women rangers at the Strong Women on Country report launch in Sydney on Friday 17 August. I wanted to take this opportunity to again let you know that supporting the growth and long term security of Indigenous ranger jobs and Indigenous Protected Areas is very important to me.
Indigenous ranger jobs are protecting nature for the benefit of every Australian, at the same time as transforming lives through meaningful work that people are proud to do. As my representative in Parliament, I hope you will support expanding and extending Indigenous ranger and Indigenous Protected Area programs, and I hope you can also attend the event.
Yours faithfully,
<your name will be inserted here>
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.
