It details how our Constitution was drafted, and shows how Aboriginal peoples came to be excluded from the new political settlement. It explains what the 1967 referendum - in which over 90% of Australians voted to delete discriminatory references to Aboriginal people from the Constitution - achieved and why discriminatory racial references remain. With clarity and authority the book shows the symbolic and legal power of such a change and how we might get there. Concise and clear, it is written by two of the best-known experts in the country on matters legal, indigenous and constitutional. Recognise is essential reading on what should be a watershed occasion for our nation.Aboriginal AustraliansAustraliaConstitutional historyAustraliaReferendumAustraliaHistoryPolitics and Government - Referenda - Referendum, 1967aiatsissPolitics and Government - Civil rights and citizenshipaiatsissPolitics and Government - Referenda - Constitutional recognitionaiatsissPolitics and Government - National symbols and events - Constitutional recognitionaiatsissAustraliaPolitics and governmentAboriginal AustraliansConstitutional historyReferendumHistoryPolitics and Government - Referenda - Referendum, 1967Politics and Government - Civil rights and citizenshipPolitics and Government - Referenda - Constitutional recognitionPolitics and Government - National symbols and events - Constitutional recognition328.294021Davis Megan1516307Williams George MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQNCSUBOOK9910787366903321Everything you need to know about the referendum to recognise Indigenous Australians3752708UNINA
