Business, Charity and Sentiment Part Two: The South Australian Housing Trust 1987-2011

The South Australian Housing Trust has supplied a broad range of public and private housing across the state over 75 years, and in so doing has built and renewed suburbs and towns and contributed to the social and economic wellbeing of many thousands of South Australians. Business, Charity and Sentiment, the fifty-year history of this renowned public enterprise, was published in 1986. Drawing on contemporary and often contentious records and recollections, Susan Marsden carries the Trust’s story through the turbulent 25 years that followed, a time of profound social, environmental, political and public sector change.
