Description With a Little Help from my Friends or A Change is Gonna Come? What was the soundtrack of change that played in Australian minds in 1967 as they cast a near unanimous “yes” to remove racist clauses from the Australian Constitution? At 90.77% in favour, the largest “yes” vote in the history of Australian referenda was the culmination of a decade of hard slog by pioneering Aboriginal activists and their allies.
