The 1967 Referendum ‘In 1967, after ten years of campaigning, a referendum was held to change the Australian Constitution. Two negative references to Aboriginal Australians were removed, giving the Commonwealth the power to legislate for them as a group. This change was seen by many as recognition of Aboriginal people as full Australian citizens”. The referendum campaign effectively focused public attention on the fact that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians were second class citizens with all sorts of limitations - legislative and social - on their lives. This decade-long campaign to change the Constitution came to symbolise the broader struggle for justice being fought during these years. Activists presented the case for a Commonwealth government which would be prepared to take responsibility for Indigenous citizens wherever they lived, for the first time’.

    SEVEN WOMEN of the 1967 REFERENDUM Project For

    SEVEN WOMEN OF THE 1967 REFERENDUM Project for Reconciliation Australia 2007 Dr Lenore Coltheart There are many stories worth repeating about the road to the Referendum that removed a handful of words from Australia’s Constitution in 1967. Here are the stories of seven women that tell how that road was made. INTRODUCING: SHIRLEY ANDREWS FAITH BANDLER MARY BENNETT ADA BROMHAM PEARL GIBBS OODGEROO NOONUCCAL JESSIE STREET Their stories reveal the prominence of Indigenous and non-Indigenous women around Australia in a campaign that started in kitchens and local community halls and stretched around the world. These are not stories of heroines - alongside each of those seven women were many other men and women just as closely involved. And all of those depended on hundreds of campaigners, who relied on thousands of supporters. In all, 80 000 people signed the petition that required Parliament to hold the Referendum. And on 27 May 1967, 5 183 113 Australians – 90.77% of the voters – made this the most successful Referendum in Australia’s history. These seven women would be the first to point out that it was not outstanding individuals, but everyday people working together that achieved this step to a more just Australia. Let them tell us how that happened – how they got involved, what they did, whether their hopes were realised – and why this is so important for us to know. 2 SHIRLEY ANDREWS 6 November 1915 - 15 September 2001 A dancer in the original Borovansky Ballet, a musician whose passion promoted an Australian folk music tradition, a campaigner for Aboriginal rights, and a biochemist - Shirley Andrews was a remarkable woman.

    Extract from Hansard [COUNCIL — Thursday, 19 February 2015] p412c-412c Hon Darren West FAITH BANDLER Statement HON DARREN WEST (Agricultural) [5.19 pm]: My statement will be brief. I rise this evening with a little sadness as I would like to address and share with the house the recent passing of Faith Bandler. Faith Bandler was born in Tumbulgum in New South Wales in 1918, the daughter of a Scottish–Indian mother and Peter Mussing, who had been blackbirded in 1883 from Ambrym Island, Vanuatu—known then as the New Hebrides. At 13 years of age he was sent to Mackay, Queensland to work on a sugarcane plantation. He escaped and married Faith Bandler’s mother. Faith Bandler cited stories of her father’s harsh experience as a slave labourer as a strong motivation for her activism. Her father died in 1924 when Faith was five. During World War II, Faith and her sister, Kath, served in the Australian Women’s Land Army. Indigenous women received less pay than white workers. After her discharge in 1945, she started a campaign for equal pay for Indigenous workers. In 1952, Faith married Hans Bandler, a Jewish refugee from Vienna. They had a daughter, Lilon Gretl, and fostered a son, Peter. In 1956, Faith became a full-time activist, becoming involved in the Federal Council for the Advancement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, which was formed in 1957. During this period, Faith led the campaign for a constitutional referendum to remove discriminatory provisions from the Constitution of Australia. This campaign included petitions and public meetings, resulting in the 1967 referendum succeeding in all six states with 91 per cent support.

    Faith Bandler Ac - Condolences

    COUNCIL 23 FEBRUARY 2015 ITEM 3.3. FAITH BANDLER AC - CONDOLENCES FILE NO: S051491 MINUTE BY THE LORD MAYOR To Council: On 27 May 1967, over 90 per cent of Australians voted to amend the Commonwealth Constitution to advance the position of Aboriginal Australians. That vote, the highest ever recorded at an Australian referendum, was the outcome of a campaign waged for more than 10 years. On 13 February 2015, Faith Bandler, one of the tireless leaders of that campaign, was lost to Australia. Faith Bandler was born on 13 February 1918 of a South Seas Islander father and a Scottish-Indian mother. Her father, Peter, had been kidnapped from his home on Ambrym Island, Vanuatu at around 13 years of age and transported to Queensland where he was forced to work on a sugar cane plantation. He later escaped to NSW where he met and married Faith’s mother. They established a small banana farm near Murwillumbah where Faith spent her early years. While Faith did not know her father well (he died when she was five years old), stories about his harsh experiences as a slave labourer strongly influenced her activism. Faith moved to Sydney in 1934, living in Kings Cross, later admitting she “always had a yen for bright lights” and “wanted to have a life of my own”. She completed a short apprenticeship in a shirt factory and worked for a time making clothes. When World War II started, she joined the Women’s Land Army, and worked on fruit farms. While working in the Riverina, she first “saw the appalling conditions that Aborigines lived in”.

  • A Twentieth-Century Aboriginal Family

    A Twentieth-Century Aboriginal Family

    Chapter 7 Race relations, work and education, 1964 to 1968 I returned to Australia in 1964 to find Aboriginal issues in New South Wales very different from those I left behind. In South Australia bureaucrats identified Aborigines as being persons of ‘full-blood’, others of Aboriginal descent were regarded as ‘state wards’, mainly those who were living on southern reserves. Then there were those people of Aboriginal descent who were classified as non- Aborigines because they had been given a State government exemption from the Protection legislation. Persons holding an Exemption Certificate had what was known in common practice as a ‘dog tag’. And finally, there were those people of Aboriginal descent who refused to conform to government policy because they believed it would demean them as ‘honorary whites’ if they did so. The exemption system in New South Wales was more that of failed assimilation policies. Despite the government’s parsimony, there were benefits for some individuals. Although the Aborigines Protection Act 1909 (NSW) existed, the Welfare Board was not totally blind to the idea that urban life together with social conformity needed a measure of economic resources. There were no fringe benefits for education but there was for housing in city urban areas. On the downside Aborigines were not permitted to create organisations in opposition to government policies. However, some organisations deemed illegal under the Aborigines Protection Act 1909 (NSW) did exist but were not prosecuted. The Aborigines and their friends who ran these organisations were courageous and enlightened people. This chapter is not only about my re-education, but about race relations and how it shifted between racial politics and socialisation practice.
