born on 27 September 1920 at Tumbulgum in New South Wales
My name is Faith Bandler and I represent ‘Australians All’ because in 1956,
together with Pearl Gibbs, I founded the Aboriginal Australia Fellowship. This group
pushed for citizenship and voting rights for Indigenous Australians and we achieved some
success at the 1967 referendum.
