When did the Aborigines become full citizens of Australia?

Answer 1

Aborigines became British Citizens when Australia was claimed by Lieutenant James Cook in 1770. Aboriginal men in South Australia were given the vote in 1854 at the same time that all white South Australian men received the vote. Similarly, Aboriginal and White South Australian women received the vote in the 1890s.

When Federation was declared in 1901 Aborigines were given the vote only those states in which they already had the vote, which was all states except Queensland and Western Australia.

In 1948 all Australians, white and black, became Australian Citizens.

In 1967 an overwhelming majority of Australians decided at a referendum that Aborigines should be counted in the census.

Answer 2

As a result of various referendums, Australian Aborigines had the right to vote and were included in national census statistics during the 1960's.

In case this concept needs further explanation, the Australian electorate (white people at the time) invited the Aboriginal people to be Australian and to take part in the decision making processes of the country.
