Sheree Lowe

Ngata, my name is Sheree Lowe, my family are the Austin and Clarke mobs, I am a member of Eastern Maar Aboriginal Corporation and was born and raised and continue to live in Ballarat on Wadawurrung lands.

I acknowledge the activism and strength of those who have become before me. I am passionate and committed to work with integrity and be accessible to our communities to ensure that the negotiated Treaty is reflected of our aspirations and empowers us.

I am running for the Assembly as I believe our communities are owed a Treaty in which represents our core values as First Peoples. A Treaty which is guided by our Elders knowledge, wisdom, and authority. A Treaty which our future generations and young people can inherit. And a Treaty which upholds our sovereignty, lore, and cultural authority as First Peoples.

I believe that our communities should be the driving forces in negotiating a Treaty, rather than the interests of government bureaucracies who have failed our mob. I believe that with engagement of all of our community, our Treaty will deliver on meaningful outcomes which doesn’t compromise on our authority, values, and strengths.

Tdo (thank you)
