Don Dunstan & Cyprus: the1957 "Fact-Finding Mission" and beyond
Abstract
This paper examines for the first time the relationship Don Dunstan, the Member of
Parliament for Norwood (1953–1979) and Premier of South Australia (1967–1968 and
1970–1979) had with the Cypriot population of South Australia. It analyses primary
resources, such as oral history testimonies, Dunstan’s manuscripts and archival material,
along with secondary resources, such as newspaper articles and books. The findings
indicate Dunstan played a significant role within the Cypriot and wider community
throughout his political career.
