Thank you and good morning everyone. Thank you for joining us at today's half year results presentation for FY25. I'm joined by Garrick Rollason, our CFO as well as the broader investor relations team.
Let me start by acknowledging the Gadigal people of the Eora nation, traditional custodians of the land on which I'm speaking today. First Nations people have taken care of our lands and waterways for the past 60,000 years. We acknowledge and pay our respects to their elders past and present.
As always, I'll start today's presentation with a safety share on slide 4. As you can see on this chart, the more we talk about safety, the less likely we are to experience injuries. The correlation between interactions and injuries is unquestionable.
One of the recent initiatives to promote interactions is dubbed for the things that matter.
And when we talk about what matters most to us, prioritizing safety and care becomes second nature.
Moving to slide 5.
