In this powerful episode, Paul Edginton sits down with Craig Rigney, proud Ngarrindjeri Kaurna man and CEO of KWY Aboriginal Corporation (Kornar Winmil Yunti), to explore the personal, political and professional journey behind one of South Australia’s most respected Aboriginal leaders.


Craig opens up about growing up disconnected from culture, navigating racism in the workplace, and what ultimately led him to dedicate his life to eliminating violence against women and children. From calling out injustice with courage, to building KWY from scratch into a statewide force for good, Craig’s story is as humbling as it is inspiring.


In this episode:

- What sparked Craig’s transformation from tradie to community leader

- Early battles with discrimination—and how he learned to respond with dignity

- The founding of KWY and the importance of co-designed, culturally safe services

- Insights on leadership, reconciliation, and the emotional toll of The Voice referendum

- Why real change starts with relationships, not rhetoric


This conversation is a must-listen for anyone working in social change, leadership, or reconciliation.
