You claimed: "Australians in 1967 overwhelmingly voted to extinguish, to eliminate, Australia's legislative racial discrimination."
Did they really?
There is a case to be made that it was made more racial by including indigenous people. This allowed Howard's Intervention even though he had to suspend the Racial Discrimination Act to do so.
Before 67 the constitution he would not have the power to act Federally.
We have quite a racist constitution. People claim the government can make laws against any race therefore it isn't racist. In practice however the only application of the power it provides was against indigenous communities.
Interested in your thoughts.
