The Man in the Pink Shorts: Episode 1
What kind of politician turns up to Parliament in pink shorts and goes on to change Australia?

Don Dunstan was no ordinary politician. From his early life in Fiji to his rise through South Australian politics, the future Premier challenged convention, confronted injustice and imagined a different kind of society. His ideas would help transform Australia's political and social landscape.

In the opening episode of The Man Who Changed Australia, we go back to where it all began, exploring the people, experiences and beliefs that shaped one of Australia's most influential political reformers and the story behind those famous pink shorts.

Featuring: Mike Rann, Jane Lomax-Smith, Angela Woollacott, Steven Cheng, Lynn Arnold, Amy Morrison, Cathie King, Keith Conlon.
