	Australian referendum, 1967 (Aboriginals) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is frequently stated that the 1967 referendum gave Aboriginal people Australian citizenship and that it gave them the right to vote in federal elections.
		In his speech on the referendum legislation, the Prime Minister, Robert Menzies, said that Section 51 would not be altered so that the possibility of laws discriminating against Aborigines could not be enacted.
		The referendum was carried, with a close to ninety-one per cent of the voters supporting the alterations.

	Constitutional Referenda in Australia (Research Paper 2 1999-2000)
		Many Australians have benefited from the social services amendment of 1946, while Australia's indigenous population regards the Aborigines referendum of 1967 as a major landmark in their relationship with the Australian political system.
		Australian voters have been cautious, and conservative at times, but they have shown their willingness to accept change when persuaded that such change is sensible or right.
		In summary, the position is the same as for referendum Bills passing both Houses: the Government advises the Governor-General whether or not to issue the writ for a referendum.

		Morant was an adopted Australian of dubious past (he was supposed to have been married, briefly, to Daisy Bates before she went forth to supervise the twilight of the tribes), while Handcock was a clear-eyed Australian lad (his name was quietly added to a war memorial in Bathurst, NSW, later).
		Australians did not learn of the executions until long after the men were buried and, as a consequence, passed the Australian Defence Act the following year which made certain that Australian soldiers under British command could not be executed.
		The Australians captured the hill on 2 September in one of the greatest feats of arms of the war.

		Referendums in Australia are written into the Constitution, and a referendum in each state agreed to federation via a referendum.
		The ANZAC myth is that the Australian soldier is a demi-god like figure, tall, bronzed, a bit of a larrakin, disdainful of authority and other traditional military practice (unless it's earned in their eyes), with an amazing bravery unseen in soldiers of other countries and an affectionate comradeship for each other.
		Australian soldiers had to trudge almost knee deep in mud with guns that mostly dated from WWI, fighting ferocious Japanese, who were starving so much they either ate off the land or ate dead Australian soldiers.

	Australian republic referendum, 1999 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1999 Australian referendum was a two question referendum held on 6 November 1999.
		Firstly, Australians have traditionally been cautious about proposed constitutional change: only 8 out of 43 referenda since 1909 have been approved by a majority of voters in a majority of states (as they must be to succeed).
		Despite the hopes of radical republicans such as Phil Cleary, the referendum defeat was generally viewed as a setback for the republican cause and no further referenda on the subject were mooted by the Howard government.

		Accordingly, he arranged for the Australians to attend as representatives of the Academy, and at the same time suggested the establishment of a committee, to be chaired by Huxley, to 'deal with questions of justification, telescope design, and Anglo-Australian co-operation'.

		Proceedings and appendices (the latter consisting of speeches, letters, and assorted papers, as well as poetry, a manifesto, and the draft of a bill adopted by the convention (basically the one adopted by the 1891 convention but with various amendments; eg the Senate was to be popularly elected)).
		From an Australian constitutional standpoint, the most interesting section is the one where the appointment of Sir Isaac Isaac as Governor-General is slotted into the wider evolution of Empire to Commonwealth.
		This fed into the change in the process of appointment and indeed further change in the substance of the office governor-general: in 1930 the first native governor-general was appointed to Australia, and the warrant for the appointment was countersigned by the prime minister of Australia.
