This book is about Tina’s journey; about never losing sight of the bigger picture. It is about a self-taught passage to ‘code-switch’ between the way the world sees her as an Aboriginal woman, and the way she wants to be seen, and what her place is in this world. This account is also about her fight through the adversity of poverty, domestic violence, alcohol abuse, and racism, to a successful career in the Australian Defence Force.

It has been two decades since the last milestones in the human resource arena took place, and since then, there have been two major industrial relations reforms: WorkChoices and the Fair Work system.
