I just happened upon this in my news feed, I was a kid at the time and thought it pretty amazing but couldn't really appreciate the full significance. Interesting also to be reminded the White Australia Policy was still in place (and for more local context, Aboriginals were counted in the Australian census for the very first time in 1971, following a referendum in 1967).
