Police Liaison Officers from across the South Brisbane District had the privilege to attend a special community event at West End’s iconic Jagera Arts Centre, last week.
Celebrations continued throughout the afternoon with an array of cultural performances, traditional dances, guest speakers, delicious tucker and wonderful company.
The annual event acknowledges, celebrates and pays tribute to Eddie Mabo and the landmark High Court decision which legally recognised that Indigenous people had a special relationship to the land and sea that existed prior to colonisation.
The theme for this year’s gathering was voice, treaty and truth.
Senior Police Liaison Officer Doug Peachy said the event highlights how far we have come as a nation.
“We as officers recognise and acknowledge the great work being done to foster reconciliation by the community and are honoured to be here today,” Senior PLO Peachy said.
Many thanks to the community for allowing us to mix and mingle throughout the day.
