In 1967, the Government deemed a referendum to achieve aboriginals to be counted in the national census, instead of counting cows instead, and to give aboriginals the right to vote in national, state and local elections. In referring to this, the government and High Court deemed section 127 unconstitutional and was repealed by section 51, which in this referendum deleted the words, 'other than aboriginals'. Before this referendum, racism, also effected sections of the UN declaration signed in 1945, specifically, section 2, section 5, section 7 and Section 9.

One way for citizens to vote on state or local laws is through a ballot initiative or referendum process. This allows citizens to propose new laws or approve/disapprove existing laws by collecting signatures to place the issue on the ballot for a public vote. Another method is through town hall meetings or public forums where citizens can express their opinions and provide input on proposed laws before they are enacted.
