Sinopsis

âÇïThis book examines whether AustraliaâÇÖs constitution should be reformed so as to enable the country to fulfil its obligations under the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which it ratified in 2009.á The book surveys the history of the constitutional status of AustraliaâÇÖs Indigenous peoples from the time of colonisation through to the current debate on âÇÖIndigenous constitutional recognitionâÇÖ. However, it argues that the term âÇÖIndigenous constitutional recognitionâÇÖ, implying that mere acknowledgement of the existence of Indigenous peoples is sufficient to meet their legitimate expectations, misrepresents the nature of the project the country needs to engage in.áThe book argues that Australia should instead embark upon a reform programme directed towards substantive, and not merely symbolic, constitutional change.á It argues that only by the inclusion in the constitution of enforceable constitutional rights can the power imbalance between Indigenous Australians and the rest of society be addressed.á Taking a comparative approach and drawing upon the experience of other jurisdictions, the book proposes a comprehensive constitutional reform programme, and includes the text of constitutional amendments designed to achieve the realisation of the rights of AustraliaâÇÖs Indigenous peoples.á It ends with a call to improve the standard of civics education so as to overcome voter apprehension towards constitutional change.áá
