Story summary

The chief executive of the National Trust of South Australia, Nicolette Di Lernia, has resigned as a parliamentary inquiry into the organization resumes today. The inquiry was initiated following a motion from opposition MLC Nicola Centofanti in June and received unanimous support across parties in the state's upper house. The trust oversees more than 80 historically significant sites statewide but faced disputes that included the standing down of its Moonta branch leadership, leading to site closures in February. Di Lernia had previously been unavailable to give evidence but will now testify before the inquiry. Until a replacement is found through a national recruitment campaign, the Trust's Council will oversee operations.
