Honouring the Legacy of Don Dunstan

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.”

In February 2009....

DON'S PARTY - 10 years on...
..we honoured his memory, celebrated his achievements and looked to our future!

The Don Dunstan Foundation wishes to thank so many people who made Don's Party such an exciting and successful event - to the numerous volunteers who generously gave so much time and energy to help out on the night;  to those whose extraordinary generosity provided us with food and drinks, to our various entertainers (and those behind the scenes) who gave the night such sparkle; and to our guest speakers, committee members and most importantly, those of you in the public who remain committed to Don's core social values and to keeping the momentum and enthusiasm in bringing about social celebration and justice!

We were delighted to be joined by so many of you (over 650) on February 6th and look forward to seeing you again at our next big event.  In the meantime, please find below some reflections from Don' s Party and copies of the Odes and speeches delivered on the evening....
