ME & JEFF

This is me and Jeff. We're lying on the floor of the Great Hall at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne.

​

Jeff is wise. He’s kind. He’s uproariously funny. He’s super smart. He’s resourceful. He’s a proud Māori man. He’s my confidant. He sees me. He loves me. All this and he’s got dance moves that make me look and feel every bit of the middle-aged white boy Dad that I am.

We agreed when we became official that we each needed to be our own authentic selves before we could be an us:

He is him.

I am me.

We are us.

Recognising First Nations peoples and cultures is important to us.
We acknowledge the First Nations people as the traditional custodians of the lands upon which we work and live. We acknowledge and respect their continuing culture and connections to land, water and community. We pay respect to the Elders of the Ngunnawal, Turrbal, Kulin and Gadigal Nations past and present. Always was, always will be.

We acknowledge Māori as tangata whenua and Treaty of Waitangi partners in Aotearoa New Zealand. We pay respects to Māori as the mana whenua of Aotearoa New Zealand.
