The Citzenship Act (1947) contained no racial exclusions and indigenous Australians were therefore Australian citizens from that date. They had previously been, like all other Australians, British subjects. Until the 1960s, however, they continued to be subject to various restrictions under state laws and (in the Northern Territory) under regulations made under Commonwealth law. Possibly Namatjira was released from these restrictions in 1957 but I am not an expert on his life. <a href="/wiki/User:Adam_Carr" title="User:Adam Carr">Adam</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:1967_Australian_referendum_(Aboriginals)#c-Adam_Carr-2005-10-19T09:15:00.000Z-I_hate_it_when_vandalism_is_blatantly_obvious" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">09:15, 19 October 2005 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Adam_Carr-2005-10-19T09:15:00.000Z-I_hate_it_when_vandalism_is_blatantly_obvious"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Adam_Carr-2005-10-19T09:15:00.000Z-I_hate_it_when_vandalism_is_blatantly_obvious"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Cfitzart-2005-10-19T09:29:00.000Z-Adam_Carr-2005-10-19T09:15:00.000Z"></span>He was allowed to purchase alcohol after this time, that was one of the restrictions.

"Australian Aborigines" has been abbreviated to just "Aborigines" over time, just as "news media conference" has become "news conference" or "media conference". The abbreviations may be common, but in all cases are wrong. I suggest that both words - "Australian Aborigines" -must be used together.

The argument is that the citizenship of Indigenous people made them no different to Flora and Fauna, as the government had no power under s 51 to pass legislation relating to Indigenous people and they were not to be counted in the census for fear of distorting numbers. Just because they were 'British subjects' does not mean they were 'citizens of Australia'. You also have the Commonwealth Franchise Act 1902 which specifically excluded Indigenous people from the vote. Then there's these comments by Linda Burney - </p><p><i> "This is not ancient history," says the state's first Aboriginal minister. "I was a child. It still staggers me that for the first 10 years of my life, I existed under the Flora and Fauna Act of NSW." </i> </p><p><i>Then came the 1967 referendum, when Australians voted to extend full citizenship to Aborigines. Now, just days before the 40th anniversary of that vote, Ms Burney has described the referendum as a high tide in both the nation's history and her own - the moment when her status was elevated from fauna to citizen.</i> -- smh.com.au/news/national/when-i-was-fauna-citizens-rallying-call/2007/05/22/1179601412706.html --<a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/58.169.227.36" title="Special:Contributions/58.169.227.36">58.169.227.36</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:58.169.227.36&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:58.169.227.36 (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:1967_Australian_referendum_(Aboriginals)#c-58.169.227.36-2010-06-16T07:11:00.000Z-POV_of_Sovereignty_section" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">07:11, 16 June 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-58.169.227.36-2010-06-16T07:11:00.000Z-POV_of_Sovereignty_section"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-58.169.227.36-2010-06-16T07:11:00.000Z-POV_of_Sovereignty_section"></span> </p><p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Mg3349-2013-07-09T02:15:00.000Z-POV_of_Sovereignty_section"></span>Regarding the forerunning: The statement using the rather colorful language about the Flora and Fauna Act being "complete BS" is not accurate, but neither, strictly, is the statement of your Kiwi friends. The second part of the 1967 Referendum repealed section 127 of the Australian Constitution, which allowed for special legislation to be made for Aboriginal People and excluded them from the Census. It is true that many people (including Ms Burney) will refer to a Flora and Fauna Act that was repealed in 1967. In fact, these are two different things. The Flora and Fauna Act was not Australia-wide, but is the name of state of New South Wales (NSW) legislation. In fact, this particular piece of legislation, Aboriginal culture and heritage was managed by the same branches of government that dealt with National Parks, flora, fauna, etc. In fact, this particular governing practice was only recently repealed! <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="http://tracker.org.au/2012/11/no-longer-flora-and-fauna-nsw-govt-commits-to-heritage-legislation/">http://tracker.org.au/2012/11/no-longer-flora-and-fauna-nsw-govt-commits-to-heritage-legislation/</a> </p><p>It is becoming a truism, then, to say there was a national "Flora and Fauna Act" and this statement is often followed by the statement that this "Act" was revealed in 1967. This is a bit confused. I do think people need to get their facts straight, as when we don't it allows the right wing historians to deny a great deal of Australia's more negative colonizing history. Having said that, when people make these errors, the spirit of what they are attempting to convey is, in my view, essential accurate: ie, that Aboriginal people were treated as subhuman under Australian legislation and that 1967's referendum was a key step in overcoming that constitutional, and therefore, policy discrimination. </p><p>Therefore, what your Kiwi friends were trying to say was essentially accurate in spirit: before 1967 (and arguably at certain moments afterward) Aboriginal people were regulated under special legislation that only applied to them. This was a means of controlling Aboriginal people and often contained paternalistic language that depicted them as in need of care or protection, or filed this special legislation alongside parks, wildlife, natural resources type legislation, implying that Aboriginal people were subhuman and merely a part of the natural landscape (Aborigines and Fisheries Department (WA, till mid 1920s). <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Mg3349&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Mg3349 (page does not exist)">Mg3349</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Mg3349&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:Mg3349 (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:1967_Australian_referendum_(Aboriginals)#c-Mg3349-2013-07-09T02:15:00.000Z-POV_of_Sovereignty_section" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">02:15, 9 July 2013 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Mg3349-2013-07-09T02:15:00.000Z-POV_of_Sovereignty_section"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Mg3349-2013-07-09T02:15:00.000Z-POV_of_Sovereignty_section"></span> </p><p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Wikiain-2013-07-22T13:38:00.000Z-POV_of_Sovereignty_section-1"></span>Without seeking to dissent from <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Mg3349&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Mg3349 (page does not exist)">Mg3349</a>, regarding New South Wales the legend of Aborigines being actually classified as "fauna" or some equivalent seems to be very far from the legislative history.

Each of these defines its categories of subject matter, e.g. "fauna", and lists in a schedule what is to come into each such category. In every case, both the definition and the list are confined to non-human creatures. There is no mention of Aborigines. The 1948 list is: dingo, ferret, fox, fruit bat or flying fox, hare, rabbit and wombat; each with their Latin name - e.g. wombat, <i>vombatus hirsutus</i>. However, the statutory offences concerning possession of protected species may have - carelessly or deliberately - conflicted with Aboriginal traditional practices. --<a href="/wiki/User:Wikiain" title="User:Wikiain">Wikiain</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Wikiain" title="User talk:Wikiain">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:1967_Australian_referendum_(Aboriginals)#c-Wikiain-2013-07-22T13:38:00.000Z-POV_of_Sovereignty_section-1" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">13:38, 22 July 2013 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Wikiain-2013-07-22T13:38:00.000Z-POV_of_Sovereignty_section-1"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Wikiain-2013-07-22T13:38:00.000Z-POV_of_Sovereignty_section-1"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Jack_Upland-2014-03-24T03:48:00.000Z-Wikiain-2013-07-22T13:38:00.000Z"></span>I don't see how it is exceptional and objectionable that Aboriginal heritage items have been dealt with under the National Parks Act in NSW when these items are in national parks.

The 1901 Constitution did define citizenship and Aboriginals always were citizens, despite the claims by Henry Reynolds and his idiot mate Looes. State govts were less charitable in native policies. The Fed govt had no power to overrule them. The '67 Ref fixed that. The '67 referendum effectively made it compulsory for individual Aboriginals to answer the Census, and that total numbers be counted for seats and cutoff quotas in the Senate. The colonial Censes, starting in 1841, did attempt to estimate the numbers of Aboriginals in each district by asking farmers to estimate the numbers on their property. In 1901 most natives were still living nomadic lives and thus the electoral commision was alleviated of the chore of tracking them down at census time. Other conspiracy theories naming QLD and WA as the reason for exclusion from the Census, are just humbug. If that was the case, Tasmania would not have been given 10 senators, as it was and still is the most inequitable part of the Constitution.<a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/61.68.161.48" title="Special:Contributions/61.68.161.48">61.68.161.48</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:61.68.161.48&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:61.68.161.48 (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:1967_Australian_referendum_(Aboriginals)#c-61.68.161.48-2016-12-27T03:14:00.000Z-Right_to_Vote" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">03:14, 27 December 2016 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-61.68.161.48-2016-12-27T03:14:00.000Z-Right_to_Vote"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-61.68.161.48-2016-12-27T03:14:00.000Z-Right_to_Vote"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Wikiain-2016-12-27T11:39:00.000Z-61.68.161.48-2016-12-27T03:14:00.000Z"></span>The "<a href="/wiki/Constitution_of_Australia" title="Constitution of Australia">1901 Constitution</a>", as you term it, unfortunately says nothing about citizenship.

In New South Wales, for instance, Indigenous Australian hunting and land use rights, as well as their material culture, were managed under a wider National Parks portfolio; this practice only gained attention in 2009 and a process for its reversal was initiated the following year.</dd></dl> <p>It is an attempt to justify the misinformation through weasel words. There was no Flora and Fauna Act.

It is a fact that the 1967 referendum came about after and largely due to a long political campaign by (how else to characterise them?) activists. What may have happened on some other issue is irrelevant. 2. There was a campaign for land and other rights such as to vote and that is how it was termed. 3. Discussing history (merci, Layzner), one's own analysis has to use one's own terminology while, where appropriate, mentioning the terminology used by the actors. 4.

If not, then surely the title should reflect today's terminology and linguistics since it's not a proper noun then? And in terms of the cultural and social material generated, well, over 50 years ago, that doesn't necessarily mean that the terminology used in them is reflective of today's terminology. While I understand the importance of historical context, that's what we detail in the article's content, not the article's title - otherwise you'd be calling the article on <a href="/wiki/The_Holocaust" title="The Holocaust">the Holocaust</a>. "the final solution" because that was its historical cultural context (excuse the rather extreme example, but I think it's the most effective in what I'm saying). On a secondary note, and as exemplified by my discussion above, "Aboriginals" isn't really appropriate here in describing the population groups subject to the change, since Aboriginal Australians are those with familial heritage to mainland Australia, while <a href="/wiki/Indigenous_Australians" title="Indigenous Australians">Indigenous Australians</a> (which is what the referendum covered) is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

In fact, the claim in the article that it was done to modify the allocation of seats in the House of Representatives doesn't have any evidence. Of the two references in the paragraph, the first one makes no mention of the referendum being a mechanism for the sole purpose of increasing seats in the House, and the second source can't be accessed, so I'll be removing that claim. Anyways, I don't see how my apparent oversight of the fact that the referendum repealed parts of the Constitution plays into this RM - the outcome, Indigenous representation in the Census, is the same. <a href="/wiki/User:ItsPugle" title="User:ItsPugle">ItsPugle</a> <small>(please use <code>{{<a href="/wiki/Template:Ping" class="mw-redirect" title="Template:Ping">ping</a>|ItsPugle}}</code> on reply)</small>` <dl><dd><span class="template-ping">@<a href="/wiki/User:ItsPugle" title="User:ItsPugle">ItsPugle</a>:</span> The "Amendments to the Constitution" section was about the process.

This is a tricky one and I can see arguments for both, although lean slightly in favour of the status quo (<b>oppose</b>) because of the relationship to the Constitution naming, and the lack of a satisfactory renaming option. Having thought about this quite a bit though, I have a new suggestion. Based on the fact that <dl><dd>(a) the 1967 Australian referendum page really serves as no more than a de facto DAB page,</dd> <dd>(b) nobody goes there to look at both outcomes or has any need to compare them,</dd> <dd>(c) this page is repeatedly linked to by editors who really intend to link to the 2nd question (I've just had to fix a few more), and</dd> <dd>(d) let's face it, in common parlance, and according to the NLA and many other reputable sources, the term "The 1967 Referendum" applies to the most significant one (most people either don't know about or don't care about the other)...</dd></dl> <p>Why don't we apply <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:PRIMARYTOPIC" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:PRIMARYTOPIC">WP:PRIMARYTOPIC</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:2DABPRIMARY" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:2DABPRIMARY">WP:2DABPRIMARY</a> and just use <b>1967 Australian referendum</b> to lead to this page, with a redirect template hatnote to the other one? Each article's intro already explains the two parts (just the links would need adjusting), and it would make it a lot easier for future users and editors, IMO. They could each have redirects from the "Constitution Alteration (Parliament) 1967)" and "Constitution Alteration (Aboriginals) 1967" respectively, and any other redirects could be adjusted accordingly. <a href="/wiki/User:Laterthanyouthink" title="User:Laterthanyouthink">Laterthanyouthink</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Laterthanyouthink" title="User talk:Laterthanyouthink">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:1967_Australian_referendum_(Aboriginals)#c-Laterthanyouthink-2020-08-04T08:01:00.000Z-Requested_move_2_August_2020" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">08:01, 4 August 2020 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Laterthanyouthink-2020-08-04T08:01:00.000Z-Requested_move_2_August_2020"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Laterthanyouthink-2020-08-04T08:01:00.000Z-Requested_move_2_August_2020"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-ItsPugle-2020-08-04T14:30:00.000Z-Laterthanyouthink-2020-08-04T08:01:00.000Z"></span>I'm perfectly happy with this solution. <a href="/wiki/User:ItsPugle" title="User:ItsPugle">ItsPugle</a> <small>(please use <code>{{<a href="/wiki/Template:Ping" class="mw-redirect" title="Template:Ping">ping</a>|ItsPugle}}</code> on reply)</small> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:1967_Australian_referendum_(Aboriginals)#c-ItsPugle-2020-08-04T14:30:00.000Z-Laterthanyouthink-2020-08-04T08:01:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:30, 4 August 2020 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-ItsPugle-2020-08-04T14:30:00.000Z-Laterthanyouthink-2020-08-04T08:01:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-ItsPugle-2020-08-04T14:30:00.000Z-Laterthanyouthink-2020-08-04T08:01:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <p><br/> </p> <ul><li><b><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Mitch_Ames-2020-08-04T13:40:00.000Z-Laterthanyouthink-2020-08-04T08:01:00.000Z"></span>Oppose</b> the change to "Aboriginal Australians", on the grounds that the current title more accurately matches the referendum name, and that the duplication of "Australian(s)" is unnecessary in this context.

The amendment was carried by an overwhelming majority - vanishingly rare in Australian constitutional amendments - and must be seen in the light of the reformist Holt Government making long overdue changes after the stagnation of the Menzies era. Changing the name away from the historical terms used in the legislation would be a mistake. Given appropriate wording in the article, none of our readers are going to be confused or misled. Reframing historical events in modern language loses some of the flavour and impact of the times. This was a big deal at the time, and diluting the impact as if those Australians of 1967 held the views and hindsight of those of us in 2020 and (hopefully) beyond, diminishes the significance. <a href="/wiki/User:Skyring" title="User:Skyring">Skyring</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Skyring" title="User talk:Skyring">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:1967_Australian_referendum_(Aboriginals)#c-Skyring-2020-08-10T08:36:00.000Z-ItsPugle-2020-08-05T12:52:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">08:36, 10 August 2020 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Skyring-2020-08-10T08:36:00.000Z-ItsPugle-2020-08-05T12:52:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Skyring-2020-08-10T08:36:00.000Z-ItsPugle-2020-08-05T12:52:00.000Z"></span></li> <li><b><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Amakuru-2020-09-01T17:59:00.000Z-ItsPugle-2020-08-05T12:52:00.000Z"></span>Support original move</b>, to <a href="/w/index.php?title=1967_Australian_referendum_(Aboriginal_Australians)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="1967 Australian referendum (Aboriginal Australians) (page does not exist)">1967 Australian referendum (Aboriginal Australians)</a>.
