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

Welcome

The Don Dunstan Foundation is a non-profit, non-political organisation established in 1999 to honour the legacy of Don Dunstan by promoting visionary and progressive leadership and thinking within government and the private sector in South Australia, by furthering debate and action on key public policy issues. Don Dunstan was Premier of South Australia from 1967-68 and 1970-1979.

Upcoming Events

The Dunstan Environment Dialogues
Power and the People

In Australia and around the world, energy demands are on the rise. What must happen to energy generation in the face of issues such as climate change and limited fossil fuel reserves? Should power generation be localised or centralised? Researchers, governments and communities are struggling to agree upon the best method for future energy generation. It is an issue for everyone to consider and participate in.

The 2^nd Dunstan Environment Dialogue, entitled "Power and the People", will ask whether new nuclear or clean technologies should power our future.

 Recent Events

In early October the Don Dunstan Foundation brought together a panel of dynamic and insightful public figures to participate in the first 'Dunstan Leadership Dialogue' titled The Gift of Lousy Times.  Our Chair, Phillip Adams AO, was joined by Annabel Crabb, SMH political sketch journalist, Clare Martin, CEO of ACOSS and former NT Chief Minister and Dexter Dunphy AM, Management Professor at UTS.
