- Description:
MICHAEL KAVANAGH, a lawyer, has been looking for a new direction. Drawn to native title legislation; rural lease holders, local councils and mining conglomerates combine to negotiate with the various native title owners. Michael has been offered the job of mediator.
Michael meets the Koori team - Tom Garland and his chief negotiator, Liv Niland. Michael and Liv start warily but before long banter is going on between them.
The main theme is: "Love is the undiscovered country." Michael and Liv are aware of their differences and that they are expected to stay away from each other. They are also both contrary enough to go against what others expect of them.
For Michael, Liv has the strong maverick humour which he has always been looking for. Liv is struck by his Irish sense of humour and his penetrating look. He sees into the heart of things without fear. But she senses a vulnerability which comes from being a loner.
