Book Synopsis
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. With clarity and authority, it shows the symbolic and legal power of such a change and how we might get there. It explains what the 1967 referendum – in which over 90 per cent of Australians voted to delete discriminatory references to Aboriginal people from theConstitution – achieved, and why the Constitution still permits people to be discriminated against on the basis of their race. Concise and clear, and written by two of the country’s foremost legal experts, it is essential reading on what will be a landmark moment for the nation.
