• A South Sea Islander/Scottish Indian woman, Bandler played a lead role in the 1967 referendum campaign.
• She described wearing white day gloves when campaigning and speaking to non-Indigenous audiences:
  I used to wear short white gloves.
• They were acceptable to the white community I came in contact with when I was campaigning for black women’s rights.
• It is a far cry from the overt – and often casual – ways fashion is being used in the 2023 referendum campaign.

Subtle style

• First Nations women, and particularly older women were often the voice of the 1967 referendum, and appearances were important.
• Older women wore their Sunday best: dresses with hats, skirts with jacket sets or casual pencil skirts with dressy turtlenecks, and small and subtle jewellery.

The iconic badges

• Jackie Huggins (Bidjara and Birri Gubba Juru) remembers, as an 11-year-old, handing out badges to promote the campaign.
• In the late 1800s, some First Nations people wore temperance badges as a pledge of abstinence from alcohol.
• Returned & Services League and Mothers Mourners badges were significant for First Nations people who served or lost family members in war.
• Other badges worn by the 1960s First Nations rights groups featured boomerang shapes and circular Aboriginal rights designs.

Referendum fashion today

• Fashion is again playing a role in the 2023 referendum.
• Today, clothes are brighter and more casual.
• First Nations designers and artists have shaped textiles and fashion over the decades.
• The fashions of the 2023 referendum are very different from 1967.
