This quintessential tale of struggle and redemption is told from the perspective of a privileged white teacher at her Melbourne school. As the debate about a Referendum (to enshrine an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice in the Australian Constitution) gathers momentum and against the shameful social and political history of Australia since the Invasion, Kabbindi's story emerges as a prototype for reconciliation but redemption? That's a whole new story...
