The reconciliation movement is said to have begun with the 1967 referendum [vote]
in which 90 per cent of Australians voted to remove clauses in the Australian Constitution which discriminated against Indigenous Australians.
As a result of the referendum, Aboriginal people were to be counted in the census.
The referendum established citizenship status and confirmed voting rights for all Indigenous Australians. The right to vote for Aboriginal people was legislated for by the Commonwealth in 1962 and by all States by 1965 when Queensland, as the last state, provided for Indigenous enfranchisement [right to vote].
