Why teach all Australian kids about the 1967 referendum?
Teaching Australian children about the 1967 referendum provides a great opportunity to:
- learn about a significant turning point in post-colonial history
- learn how ordinary citizens can rally to change legislation
- counter myths that exist about what the referendum achieved
- understand the inequality that Aboriginal people faced as British subjects and later as non-citizens after Federation
- witness a time in history when the majority of the population supported an Aboriginal issue.
A great addition to your collection of First Nations resources
