Honouring the Legacy of Don Dunstan.

“We have faltered in our quest to provide better lives for all our citizens, rather than just for the talented, lucky groups. To regain our confidence in our power to shape the society in which we live, and to replace fear and 'just coping' with shared joy, optimism and mutual respect, needs new imagining and thinking and learning from what succeeds elsewhere.”

The Don Dunstan Foundation gratefully acknowledges the support of the State Government of South Australia, the University of Adelaide and Flinders University
