It proposed repealing two provisions that are still considered to have racist connotations : one that allows states to disqualify people of `` all persons of any race '' from voting at elections ; and another that authorizes parliament to make `` special laws '' for `` the people of any race . '' The government says it will consider the recommendations before deciding how to proceed . Score: 6 Changes to the Constitution by referendum rarely do well in Australia .
