Australian Cyber Security Centre
Thank you ladies and gentlemen.
Before I begin can I first acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which I meet with you, the Ngunnawal People, and pay my respects to their leaders past, present and emerging. I want to acknowledge their continuing connection and contribution to our land, waters and culture. I acknowledge that the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were Australia’s first explorers, first navigators, first engineers, first farmers, first botanists, first scientists. Always was, always will be.
I also want to thank AISA for bringing together what I would call ‘PLU’ or ‘people like us. It is an impressive agenda for the next three days – with an equally impressive selection of speakers and panellists – which makes me delighted I been asked to provide a key note – because clearly – it can only go up from here.
