The 1967 Referendum was a significant event in Australian history, held on May 27, 1967. It aimed to amend the Australian Constitution to include Aboriginal Australians in the national census and allow the federal government to make laws for them. Prior to this, Aboriginal people were largely excluded from these considerations, reflecting a broader pattern of discrimination. The referendum resulted in overwhelming support, with over 90% of voters in favor of the changes. This marked a pivotal moment in the movement for Aboriginal rights, leading to increased recognition and efforts towards equality for Indigenous Australians, including the Aboriginal Land Rights movement.
