About the issue: This issue was produced in partnership with the Don Dunstan Foundation to celebrate the centenary of the former SA Premier's birth. Many pieces in the issue explore themes relevant to the Foundation's priorities and Dunstan's legacy – including housing precarity, First Nations land rights, climate justice, and the state of progressive politics.
Thank you to The Don Dunstan Foundation, Adelaide University, Flinders University, Creative Australia and all of our subscribers for your support of Splinter .
And also to our launch sponsor Miss Zilm wines.
Splinter is published by Writers SA.
