Faith Bandler.

Ms Bandler's was perhaps best known for her 10-year campaign for Aboriginal rights leading into the 1967 referendum.

She was the general secretary in the Federal Council for the Advancement of Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders when she successfully campaigned for indigenous people to be included in future national censuses and for the federal government to be granted powers to legislate for Indigenous people.

The referendum subsequently passed with a yes vote of more than 90 per cent.
