	Print Article: The trouble with Labor...
		Dunstan agreed that ALP policies should not in any way be dictated by market research; but he argued that the party must be aware what the public thought about our policies so that in tactical terms we could present our policies in the most attractive manner.
		Dunstan was recognised as a strong, effective and charismatic leader, even by those who would not vote for him; education, health, jobs and transport were the main issues for the voters.
		Dunstan, who by the way was an outstanding party organiser and electoral campaigner, always made it clear he joined the ALP because we believe in certain values and philosophies.

		DON DUNSTAN: Thank you very muchquite senseless and baseless rumours -- Anybody facing the task of a premier cannot but be daunted by it.
		The real legacy of Don Dunstan is not to look backwards with some sort of rose-tinted glasses to the 1970s, 'cause they were different times, and different issues.
		Don Dunstan's central legacy is for us to look forward, to actually lead, not follow, to fight above our weight, and to -- in our own ways -- become maestros of the possible in a different time and different age.

		Don Dunstan, the former South Australian Premier who died on 6 February, understood that there was a social, political and moral obligation to the Indigenous population of Australia which could only be met through a profound change in attitude of the whole nation.
		Don Dunstan has many friends and admirers in the Aboriginal community of South Australia and his death will be deeply mourned by them.
		He was a champion of the Aboriginal cause; a politician who took political risks for principles in which he believed and a man who sought to persuade the electorate of his beliefs rather than adjusting policies to suit opinion polls.
