Section 127 of the Australian Constitution
[edit]- ... that Section 127 of the Australian Constitution mandated that the Aboriginal peoples not be counted in "reckoning the numbers of the people of the Commonwealth"?

New enough. Long enough. NPOV. Hook is interesting and checks out with the cited source. Well cited throughout. Earwig and spot checking found no significant close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations or plagiarism. Just a QPQ review needed and we are good to go.

- Thanks, Edwardx, I'm glad you found this hook interesting. I was surprised that this was originally in the Australian Constitution and I studied Constitutional Law once - I guess this was ignored as it had long-since been removed. I'll ping you when I get to the QPQ, should be within a day or two. Cheers! EdChem (talk) 20:49, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
