Library Term 4 Week 2

AZARIA: A TRUE HISTORY by MAREE COOTE

This astonishing new picture book is launched in 40th anniversary year of the story that shocked the world: that of baby Azaria taken by a dingo in the

Australian outback in 1980. Media reports at the time accused baby Azaria’s mother— Lindy Chamberlain— of murder. Lindy Chamberlain was sentenced and

jailed before eventually being exonerated.

Before watching the reading of the book watch the Behind the News Editorial to give you some insight into this dark time in Australian history

https://www.abc.net.au/btn/classroom/dingo-decision/10532368

Watch the Author read her amazing retelling of a significant event in Australian history on the link below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-N5zVK4EaI

Message from the Author: I wanted to plant the idea that an open mind is an essential accessory in life, that we should think for ourselves and not rush to

judgement of others. I wanted to raise the subject of the importance of standing up for yourself as Lindy did, in the face of such an unimaginable attack. And

also, the idea of standing up for other people, or at least offering them the benefit of doubt. After all, this could have happened to any one of us. And I

wanted to honour the loss of Azaria, by not forgetting. Finally, of course, I hoped to remind people that this kind of event

continues to occur in the wilderness with shocking regularity, even as recently as last year. We simply need to confront this fact, in the interests of a safer,

wiser, fairer Australia. — Maree Coote.
