Join SAG CEO, Ruth Graham, Sally Layson from the Rule of Law Education Centre, Paul Kable and Bill Kable as they introduce us to the captivating true story of a convict couple, Henry and Susannah Kable and the disappearance of their parcel of belongings on their journey on the First Fleet.

The story culminates in the first civil case in New South Wales, where this poor convict couple sued the mighty ship’s captain for their lost parcel and won! Setting the democratic foundations of our nation today that the law must be applied equally and fairly to all, and people should have equal access to the protections provided by the law.

The Rule of Law Education Centre has recently published a book for high school aged children to educate them about this story. We were thrilled that material on the Kable family held in SAG's archives contributed to their research for the book.

This webinar will be recorded, so you can either watch it live or watch it later.
