The year 2007 and specifically Sunday 27 May 2007 marked the 40th anniversary of Australia’s most successful referendum and a defining event in reconciliation.
The 1967 referendum saw more than 90% of eligible Australians vote YES to count Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians in the national census of the population and to give the Commonwealth Government power to make specific laws in respect of Indigenous people. This event is often referred to as the first stage of the reconciliation movement in Australia.
The anniversary provided a rare and significant opportunity to further encourage the Australian community’s interest in reconciliation.
