Parliament to Probe Heritage Trust Crisis

Parliament is launching a major inquiry into South Australia’s biggest heritage group, the National Trust, after a firestorm of volunteer discontent erupted over leadership decisions and lack of accountability. The probe follows a February leadership ousting at the Moonta branch that triggered a wave of resignations and shuttered historic sites like the Moonta Mines, hurting tourism. Officials demand transparency on assets and property deals — including a Burra bank building bought by council for a visitor center — while the Trust’s CEO dismisses the inquiry as costly and insists any sales will benefit communities at below-market rates. Tensions remain high as volunteers demand their voices be heard. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
