Constitutional reform and Indigenous peoples: Options for amendment to the Australian Constitution
In the context of the Federal Government's commitment to hold a referendum to recognise Indigenous Australians in the Constitution, this research brief considers some of the potential options for Indigenous-related reform.
The Indigenous Law Centre is conducting a research project looking at reform of the Australian Constitution concerning Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The Constitutional Reform and Indigenous Peoples project will examine the history of constitutional development relating to Indigenous people since Federation, evaluate the current position of Indigenous people under the Constitution, and consider proposals for Indigenous- related constitutional reform.
This Research Brief is the second in this project and considers some of the potential options for reform of the Constitution.
The project is funded by the University of New South Wales, Faculty of Law and the Commonwealth Attorney- General’s Department.
