'The pursuit of Indigenous Land Rights was 100% successful and fully supported by the Australian population.'
From the information provided, it is found that the pursuit of Indigenous Land Rights was not 100% successful as it was not not fully supported by the Australian Population. It is evident from the results from the referendum that a couple of states did not support the change in constitution and the fact that there have been so many protests regarding land rights has shown that it has not been 100% successful.
