Googling "white-breasted robin" gives lots of links, e.g.

Although the White Breasted Robin is a native Australian species, the one
you saw was probably suffering from some condition known as leucism, which
means it does not have the pigment that gives robins their red breasts.

Thanks, Roy. That's exactly what it looked like. Saw it again
