Our Aunty and Nana was the Matriarch of our family, whom we have loved and looked up to our entire lives. [...] We thank and honour her for all that she has done – for all the pathways she created, for all the doors she opened, for all the issues she tackled head-on, for all the tables she sat at and for all the arguments she fought and won. [...] We thank her for being a loving and devoted daughter, sister, Aunty and Nana to our families, always ensuring that we were looked after and cared for. [...] We ask that you continue to honour Aunty Lowitja’s legacy through using your Voices to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and to share the stories of her incredible life, which always had our First Peoples at the heart of all that she worked for and achieved. [...] We acknowledge and share our immense gratitude for the health professionals and care staff who have cared for and supported our Aunty in recent years.
