Before you downvote, take a read yourself. This isn't sarcasm.
- RL_Quine 6y agoI'll concede that people are mentioned in it, my original comment wasn't completely correct. "In reckoning the numbers of the people of the Commonwealth, or of a State or other part of the Commonwealth, aboriginal natives shall not be counted." Not really a statement of rights so much as a statement that the native people of Australia are not people.
- chrismorgan 6y agoFor completeness it must be noted that that was repealed by referendum in 1967: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_127_of_the_Constitution_of_Australia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_127_of_the_Constitutio.... (The related Section 25 remains, however.)
