I think you meant that until 1967, indigenous were not recognized as citizens of Australia. Same as chinese in 19 century were not recognised as citizens of British empire.
If you would like to pull out evidence such as wording in constitution, please do.
Tribalism, ethnicity & many other forms of discrimination, such as based on culture & language, always existed before industrial revolution through all the world. RACE as a concept arrived when a small group, ie British pushed forward with more rapid social progress & made such things as slavery illegal. Then Yanks fought a civil war over it. Sure Race does matter but it is not the most important form of discrimination as a risk in society. I suspect discrimination with language, written & verbal is far more threatening & risky for Australia's future.
