The referendum is commonly considered the turning point in Australian historical and cultural life. The historic moment when citizenship rights were granted ? including the vote ? and the Commonwealth finally assumed responsibility for Aboriginal affairs. This book explores the legal and political significance of the referendum and the long struggle by Australians for constitutional change. pOriginally publishedc[Canberra] : Aboriginal Studies Press, 1967nunder titletWhen Aborigines didn't get the vote 0aAboriginal AustraliansxCivil rights. 0aAboriginal AustraliansxLegal status, laws, etc. 0aAboriginal AustraliansxSuffrage. 0aCitizenshipzAustralia. 0aReferendumzAustralia. aAboriginal Australians - Civil rights aAboriginal Australians - Legal status, laws, etc. aAboriginal Australians - Suffrage aCitizenship - Australia aReferendum - Australia1 aMarkus, Andrew.2 aAustralian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies. aAttwood, Bain aMarkus, Andrew0 aWhen Aborigines didn't get the vote.413Table of contentsuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/fy0801/2007408387.html aANLcNL 323.119915 A886-2cN 323.119915 A886-2
