What is applying the concepts to lived experience?Show answer
You apply social justice and human rights by linking the principles to real events and outcomes. The 1967 referendum, in which over 90 percent of voters approved removing two discriminatory references to Aboriginal people from the Constitution, advanced equity and rights. The Mabo v Queensland (No 2) (1992) decision and the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) recognised rights to land that the doctrine of terra nullius had denied. The Bringing Them Home report (1997) documented the human rights violations of the Stolen Generations.
