Canberra Raiders Men’s Indigenous Jersey 2020
The Raiders jersey design incorporates artwork that addresses the Reconciliation Public Holiday which took place Monday, June 1, 2020.
The ACT was Australia’s first jurisdiction that declared a Reconciliation Day holiday when a bill amending Australia’s Holidays Act was passed by the ACT Legislative Assembly. It received tripartisan support. This public holiday marks the anniversary of the 1967 Australian Referendum. It marks the start of National Reconciliation Week.
In an Australian referendum that took place 27 May 1967, two amendments to the Australian constitution regarding Indigenous Australians were passed by the Holt government. The amendments received unanimous support from 90.77% and were carried in six States. The amendments amended sections 51(xxvi), 128, and included Aboriginal Australians into the determinations of the population. They gave the Federal parliament the authority to legislate for this particular racial group.
These amendments did nothing to give Aboriginal citizens the right not to vote. It was first introduced in 1962. They did not grant citizenship for Aboriginal peoples, since most discriminatory federal laws and state laws against Aboriginal persons were repealed in 1967.
This Indigenous Jersey will be worn by Raiders NRL in Round 12 of 2020 NRL Season
