The Raiders jersey design incorporates artwork related to Reconciliation Public Holiday which took place Monday, June 1, 2020.
The ACT was Australia’s first state to declare a Reconciliation Day vacation. The ACT Legislative Assembly approved the bill to amend Australia’s Holidays Act. It received tripartisan support. This public holiday celebrates the 1967 Australian Referendum. This day also 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. 90.77% voted in favor of the amendments and they were carried in six States. The amendments amended sections 51(xxvi), 128, and included Aboriginal Australians into the population determinations. They gave the Federal parliament power to legislate in this area.
The 1962 amendments did nothing to give Aboriginal citizens the right vote. These amendments also didn’t grant citizenship to Aboriginal persons, since many discriminatory laws in the federal and state governing Aboriginal people were already repealed back in 1967.
This Indigenous Jersey will be worn by Raiders NRL in Round 12 of 2020 NRL Season
