TL;DR

Claim: The gap is more about place (where you live) than race.

The verdict: Senator Nampijinpa Price's claim is oversimplified.

Francis Markham, a research fellow at the Australian National University's Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Research: "It's a mistake to try and separate place and race and say that they're things that you can discreetly pull apart."

Importantly, for the vast majority of indicators that revealed a clear link between geography and worse outcomes, there was still a gap in outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in major cities and regional areas.

Hahahha. Let's see how I do against the bot that does summaries.

The summary bot must have downvoted you, otherwise someone is so stupid that they would downvote a correct summary of an article

I think i've got some followers that don't always appreciate my 100% correct opinions and like to throw a downvote my way every now and again. Just to remind me that I'm living in their head rent free 😀

Lol, this comment has already been downvoted. I definitely noticed on reddit if I got into it with some alt-right shit then for a few hours or days afterwards every comment of mine would get a couple of extra downvotes.

I don't know what's sadder, if it's just some kind of petulant tantrum or if they've convinced themselves it's an effective tactic that actually achieves something.

Was actually going to give her a bit of credit if she was talking about social economic status but she's actually talking about regional vs cities.
