Lest we forget - all who died on country
This may be said at any event >
It parallels the oath to become an Australian citizen >>
As I wear this Desert Pea (if you have one)
I pledge my loyalty
to the recognition and sovereignty
of all First Peoples
of what is now called Australia,
and to going forward together for their rights, liberties and respect
with all my thoughts, words and actions.
May be said with or without the words, “under God.”

Working together with Reconciliation Tasmania the RSL and Elders have honoured both Aboriginal and Torres Strait military deaths alongside those who died during the Colonial Era Conflicts on country.
Planning for a Colonial Era Conflicts State Memorial is progressing.
While respecting the national significance of ANZAC Day the Elders were invited to sit with Governor Kate Warner.
Making Peasce was invited to Hobart by the Elders to support the respectful memorial design using local floral emblems and traditions.

Arrernte Elder lays Tasmanian Elders' wreath in Canberra at the Australian War Memorial on ANZAC Day 2021.
Peltherre Chris Tomlins speaks about the wreath from Tasmanian Elders that was later placed at the Cenotaph immediately after the ANZAC Day ceremony. He calls on the National Ceremony to follow the example of Tasmania and have the Colonial Era Conflicts recognised in the ceremony saying, "It is time to end the Frontier Wars".
