Canberra Raiders Men’s Indigenous Jersey 2020
The Raiders jersey design incorporates artwork related to Reconciliation Public Holiday, Monday 1 June 2020.
The ACT Legislative Assembly passed a bill amending Australia’s Holidays Act. With tripartisan support it became Australia’s very first jurisdiction to issue a Reconciliation day holiday. The ACT Legislative Assembly voted in favor of the bill on September 14, 2017. This public holiday celebrates the anniversary of the 1967 Australian Referendum. This day also marks the start of National Reconciliation Week.
In an Australian referendum held on 27 mai 1967, the Holt government approved two amendments of the Australian constitution related Indigenous Australians. The amendments received unanimous support from 90.77% and were carried in six States. The amendments amended sections 51(xxvi), to 127. They made Aboriginal Australians part of the population calculations and empowered the Federal parliament to make specific legislation for this racial group.
The 1962 amendments didn’t grant Aboriginal citizens voting rights. The amendments did not grant citizenship for Aboriginal people, as the most discriminatory federal or state laws were repealed in 1967.
This Indigenous Jersey will be worn by Raiders NRL in Round 12 of 2020 NRL Season
