[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 661779, member: 4386"] Of course nothing is ever simple. The Australian constitution did say that aboriginal people should not be included in the census (a different thing to saying they had no voting rights, itself slightly different to citizenship, although each can interact on the other). For example some aborigines still had passports, most had the right to vote or could obtain it if they applied but none could be included in the census. So rough estimates were made (how can you exclude people from overall population estimates if you don’t know how many there are)? Duh! Same as they had the constitutional (if conditional) right to vote despite not being counted, and drive - double duh! [/QUOTE]
