Australian referendum, 1977
historyThe 1977 Australian Referendum was held on 21 May 1977. It contained four referendum questions and one plebiscite.
Referendums:
- (33) Simultaneous Elections
- (34) Senate Casual Vacancies (carried)
- (35) Referendums (carried)
- (36) Retirement of Judges (carried)
Plebiscite:
- (3) National Song (Advance Australia Fair)
This referendum had a particularly strong 'Yes' vote. All but one of the referendum questions was carried, and the only one to not be carried had a clear national majority, but was held back by not achieving a majority of the states. No referendum since then has been successful.
