Description

Sydney, Crows Nest: Allen & Unwin, 2019. Reprint ed.. Paperback octavo, very good condition, black & white photos, minor edgewear corner tips rear cover (& corner tip last few pages), minimal edgewear. 332 pp. Don Dunstan, Premier of South Australia in the 1960s and 1970s is one of Australia's foremost civil rights advocates of modern times. He actively promoted the rights of Indigenous Australians and women, as well as multiculturalism. He also championed the rights of homosexual citizens at a time when they were treated as criminals, classified as insane, and regarded as outcasts. He was also bisexual. Dunstan was a member of parliament for over 25 years, and then for the remainder of his life, to realise his vision of full equality for same-sex attracted citizens. This is the first comprehensive biography of the larger-than-life figure. He was well-loved by the public, but his career was marked by controversy and vilification, with scandal surrounding his personal relationships.
