The book surveys the history of the constitutional status of Australia?s Indigenous peoples from the time of colonisation through to the current debate on ?Indigenous constitutional recognition?. However, it argues that the term ?Indigenous constitutional recognition', implying that mere acknowledgement of the existence of Indigenous peoples is sufficient to meet their legitimate expectations, misrepresents the nature of the project the country needs to engage in. The book argues that Australia should instead embark upon a reform programme directed towards substantive, and not merely symbolic, constitutional change. It argues that only by the inclusion in the constitution of enforceable constitutional rightscan the power imbalance between Indigenous Australians and the rest of society be addressed. Taking a comparative approach and drawing upon the experience of other jurisdictions, the book proposes a comprehensive constitutional reform programme, and includes the text of constitutional amendments designed to achieve the realisation of the rights of Australia?s Indigenous peoples. It ends with a call to improve the standard of civics education so as to overcome voter apprehension towards constitutional change. . 606 $aConstitutional law 606 $aPublic law 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aAustralasia 606 $aHistory 606 $aRace 606 $aConstitutional Law 606 $aPublic Law 606 $aHuman Rights 606 $aGovernance and Government 606 $aAustralian History 606 $aRace and Ethnicity Studies 615 0$aConstitutional law. 615 0$aPublic law. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aAustralasia. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aRace. 615 14$aConstitutional Law. 615 24$aPublic Law. 615 24$aHuman Rights. 615 24$aGovernance and Government. 615 24$aAustralian History. 615 24$aRace and Ethnicity Studies. 676 $a342.94 700 $aHarris$b Bede$0909266 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910767586403321 996 $aIndigenous Peoples and Constitutional Reform in Australia$93655854 997 $aUNINA
