Though these seemed like small amendments, they were an impetus for real change: from terra nullius to land rights, and from assimilation to self-determination. Nearly 50 years later, there is a groundswell of support for our Indigenous heritage to be formally recognized in the Constitution. With the prospect of a new referendum in the near future, Frank Brennan considers how far Australians have come and yet how much work lies ahead. He looks through the prism of history to examine what we can learn from our successes and failures since 1967, from the efforts of the Council of Aboriginal Affairs to the Gove land rights case and the Aboriginal Tent Embassy. He also assesses the way forward: how the upcoming referendum might provide fresh momentum for governments and Indigenous Australians to negotiate better outcomes. Written by one of the most respected commentators on legal and human rights issues, this book makes a vital contribution to the understanding of Indigenous affairs. It will generate crucial debate on how Australians should acknowledge the history that for too long has gone unrecognized. 606 $aAboriginal Australians$xLegal status, laws, etc 606 $aAboriginal Australians$xLegal status, laws, etc$xHistory 606 $aAboriginal Australians$xCivil rights 606 $aReferendum$zAustralia 606 $aTorres Strait Islanders$xLegal status, laws, etc 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAboriginal Australians$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aAboriginal Australians$xLegal status, laws, etc.$xHistory. 615 0$aAboriginal Australians$xCivil rights. 615 0$aReferendum 615 0$aTorres Strait Islanders$xLegal status, laws, etc. 676 $a342.940872 700 $aBrennan$b Frank$0947232 702 $aTurner$b Patricia 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464018103321 996 $aNo small change$92140193 997 $aUNINA
