Everything you need to know about the referendum to recognise Indigenous Australians / Megan Davis, George Williams.
"The definitive, clear-cut guide to the vote on recognising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the Constitution. This book explains everything Australians need to know about the proposal to recognise Indigenous peoples in the Constitution. It details how the Constitution was drafted, and shows how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples came to be excluded from the political settlement that brought about the nation. It explains what the 1967 referendum – in which over 90 per cent of Australians voted to delete discriminatory references to Aboriginal people from the Constitution – achieved, and why the Constitution still permits people to be discriminated against on the basis of their race." -- Publisher information.
