Misleading claims have circulated in Australia that the Indigenous population were included in national censuses as far back as 1933. In fact, the number of Aboriginal Australians were only estimated until after a 1967 referendum.
Liz Allen, a demography lecturer at the Australian National University, said the 1933 census was imprecise with regard to the number of Aboriginal Australians as they were not fullyAllen told AFP on July 11 that Aboriginal people were included in the census only"if they were employed by a European Australian or were in contact with or known to the state".
"Census collections until 1961 tended to capture only a fraction of Aboriginal people in mainland Australia," she said. She added that the number of"full-flood" Aboriginal Australians in the screenshot did not represent census counts but were"estimations of people supplied by Aboriginal Protectorate Boards".
"These figures are provided by white men, potentially without any interaction with Aboriginal people, and with possible ill intent to hide the true figures," Allen said.
