Australia's Indigenous peoples, including the Aborigines, faced significant discrimination and were not granted full citizenship rights until the 1967 referendum, which allowed them to be counted in the census and for the federal government to create laws for them. Prior to this, they faced numerous restrictions and were not afforded the same rights as other Australians.
