Reserved Seat holder representing Eastern Maar Aboriginal Corporation

Jamie Lowe

Gunditjmara

We’re the First Peoples’ Assembly and we’re doing something that’s a first within Australia so there’s a bit of weight to bear with that, but it’s an exciting process at the same time, so speaking to our people about it, they’re excited, but also cautious. 

We’re doing business with the government so we’re always cautious when we’re doing that, so it’s important to keep perspective, but we’re looking forward to what the future can bring to our people. 

We’re hearing you, we’re listening to you and we’ve taken on this task and know the magnitude of it so we get it.
