Cevap

The 1967 Referendum allowed the Commonwealth to make laws for Indigenous Australians and include them in the census, while the 1992 Mabo Decision recognized their traditional land rights.
The correct answer identifies that the 1967 Referendum (27 May) led to constitutional changes allowing the federal government to legislate for Indigenous Australians and include them in census data, while the Mabo Decision (3 June) legally recognized that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples had land rights before European settlement, overturning the doctrine of terra nullius.
