In 1967, Australians voted overwhelmingly in favor of removing from the Constitution two references that discriminated against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Though these seemed like small amendments, they were an impetus for real change: from terra nullius to land rights, and from assimilation to self-determination. Nearly 50 years later, there is a groundswell of support for our Indigenous heritage to be formally recognized in the Constitution. With the prospect of a new referendum in the near future, Frank Brennan considers how far Australians have come—and yet how much work lies ahead. He looks through the prism of history to examine what we can learn from our successes and failures since 1967, from the efforts of the Council of Aboriginal Affairs to the Gove land rights case and the Aboriginal Tent Embassy. He also assesses the way forward: how the upcoming referendum might provide fresh momentum for governments and Indigenous Australians to negotiate better outcomes. Written by one of the most respected commentators on legal and human rights issues, this book makes a vital contribution to the understanding of Indigenous affairs. It will generate crucial debate on how Australians should acknowledge the history that for too long has gone unrecognized

This edited collection brings together leading international scholars to explore the connection between Brexit and the media. The referendum and the activism on both sides of the campaign have been of significant interest to the media in the UK and around the world. How these factors have been represented in the media and the role of the media in constructing the referendum narrative are central to assisting the development in our understanding of how UK and global democracy is being manifested in contemporary times. This book explores these topics through presenting a wide range of perspectives from research conducted by leading international scholars, and concludes with an assessment of the potential democratic and international implications for the future. By grappling with a highly important and controversial topic in a comparative and varied way, the volume contributes to theoretical debates about the nature and role of the media in complex social, political and cultural contexts.

Life can be surprising. From this point on my life’s journey, I look back, and it almost seems surreal. As I gaze through that long traveled pathway of time, I can honestly say that had I had a chance at the beginning to glimpse forward to see where this traveled road would take me, I wouldn’t have believed it. And so, this is probably true for a lot of us in my generation. We were born into a time of change, significant change. The kind of change that would set our lives and those of the following generations apart from those of just one generation ahead of us. The previous generations secured our future. They paid for it with their personal sacrifice and unrivaled bravery. That future has also served to make the world a smaller place, whether it be by audio and video communications, computers, or the commonplace of jet travel. As part of this “new” world, I have gone on to see and do things that seemed to be out of reach from that generational point where I entered this life. As I have reached the more “senior” years of my life, I have found the temptation to document a lot of life’s little adventures, or “misadventures” as they may be. I am also responding to those many people who have said “you should write a book”. The technology of today has also made this temptation easy and practical to implement. This book is my first pass at this endeavor, at least in the non-technical realm. The subject matter was an easy choice. The events covered in this book affected many things in many ways. These effects include both future generations and the geographical aspects of the regions involved. More importantly, this story, at least in part, shares common elements with many other people and communities. In some cases, these same things are occurring right now, in probably very similar circumstances. This book just may provide helpful insight to others who now stand where we once stood. Bob Strauss

'This book provides the practical pointers for hope if we are ever to achieve constitutional recognition of my people. It addresses the mistakes of the 2023 referendum so that we can all learn and regroup. It's a "must read".' - John Lochowiak, Chairperson of the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholic Council The 2023 referendum was a disaster. After the 40:60 defeat, the key Indigenous leaders said: 'It is clear no reform of the Constitution that includes our peoples will ever succeed. This is the bitter lesson from 14 October.' Many Australians believe that there is still hope. There may be a prospect of future constitutional change but not with the process that was adopted and not with the wording that was proposed in 2023. It's time to begin the conversation about past mistakes, before we all start forgetting what went on. The major challenge for the country in the future will be according First Australians agency and self-determination while remaining true to the undoubted rules for constitutional change. Indigenous leaders will not accept minimal symbolic change to the Constitution. It will be necessary to find that sweet spot of substantive change acceptable to most members of the Commonwealth Parliament. This book highlights the mistakes of 2023 and points a way forward in hope. Good process can yield good policy, which can produce good politics, which might then result in a popular positive referendum result. Frank Brennan was a member of the Calma/Langton committee that guided the Co-Design process to develop options for an Indigenous voice to parliament. He has previously published three books on Indigenous constitutional recognition: Sharing the Country (Penguin Books, two editions, 1992 and 1994); No Small Change: The Road to Recognition for Indigenous Australia (University of Queensland Press, 2015); and An Indigenous Voice to Parliament: Considering a Constitutional Bridge (Garratt Publishing, 2023, three editions). During the 2023 referendum campaign, he addressed many public meetings and worked closely with the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholic Council.

In referendums on fundamental constitutional issues, do the people come together to make decisions instead of representatives? This book argues no. It offers an alternative theory of referendums whereby they are one of many ordinary ways that voters give direction to their representatives. In this way, the book argues that referendums are better understood as exercises in representative democracy. The book challenges the current treatment of referendums in processes of constitutional change both in the UK and around the world. It argues that referendums have been used under the banner of popular sovereignty in a way that undermines representative institutions. This book makes the case for the use of referendums stronger by showing how they can support, rather than undermine, institutions of representative democracy. Understanding referendums as exercises in representative democracy has broader implications for constitutional democracy as well. Rather than see the power to constitute constitutions as something that happens occasionally in exceptional moments through referendums, this book argues instead that voters constantly have the power to constitute and reconstitute their constitutions.
