Publishers Description: This in-depth study examines changes and continuities in Australian public opinion about the Aborigines and their struggle for recognition and social justice. Looking at four key episodes in recent political history—the 1967 referendum, the Hawke governments national land-rights proposal from 19841986, the Native Title debate, and the reconciliation debate in 2000—this book explores public opinion research, the debate surrounding these issues, and how they affected the political discussion of indigenous peoples issues in Australia.
