Original Note:
Aboriginal people were not regarded as "flora and fauna". It is a myth. There is no evidence the Indigenous population was classified as such. Aboriginals, born in Australia, are automatically citizens under the Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/280397463_Reconfiguring_History_The_Flora_and_Fauna_Act_and_other_myths_of_Australian_legislation https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/10/22/fact-check-myth-claims-australia-classified-aboriginals-animals/3717730001/ https://apo.org.au/node/305732 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-03-20/fact-check-flora-and-fauna-1967-referendum/9550650 https://www.heraldsun.com.au/blogs/rita-panahi/the-flora-and-fauna-myth/news-story/0ef31516bbaeee9858cd2189fe9e033e
