RE: 10years of Closing the Gap - When is equal actually equal?
I wonder how much of the perceived inequality is actually just a result of distance.
If you live 5000km from the closest hospital; you're going to have 'poor health outcomes'.
Just like you're going to have poor 4G outcomes and poor pizza delivery outcomes.
My thoughts exactly @mattclarke. If you choose to live in a remote location, you’re going to struggle.
I would love to escape the Sydney bubble and live in a remote beachside town in the middle of nowhere. But I choose Sydney for work, lifestyle, services etc.
Such a simple problem, made so unnecessarily hard...
But those poor health outcomes should be the same for both black and white. Instead they have aboriginal only clinics, aboriginal liason nurses, special doctors and special programs just for them. The poor white fella just gets to die.
Everyone equal, equal funding, equal life, equal death.
Well said Matt!
