On the community
- Erosion of trust and community spirit,
- A sense that only certain people belong,
- Loneliness and isolation,
- Negative media attention,
- Long-lasting damage to the group’s reputation.
The University of Newcastle acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands within our footprint areas: Awabakal, Darkinjung, Biripai, Worimi, Wonnarua, and Eora Nations. We also pay respect to the wisdom of our Elders past and present.
