Madeline Begley, We Will Win, Won't We (Student (2018))

Kaine, who battles a mental illness, and his partner Taryn, a former ice addict, both had tough childhoods. But contact with the Red Cross Walali Neighbourhood Centre has brought Kaine closer to realising his mantra: ‘We will win, won’t we’. Centre coordinator Lesley Guy suggested Kaine return to his country, Plangermaireener, in Tasmania, for spiritual healing. There Kaine regained his sense of identity and after returning to Mount Morgan, he and Taryn began a life together. Kaine is determined to take his children back to his country and give them the start in life he and Taryn didn’t have.
