In a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference, No campaigner Jacinta Nampijinpa Price said the gap in outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people was "more about place than race". Is that correct?

    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.

        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.

              I didn’t say it bothered me, it’s just interesting that people will do this. If I hid comment scores, I wouldn’t know.

              I am fairly dedicated to not allowing social media metrics to colonise my mind to the extent that I let them affect my mood.

                  Yeah, that’s a fair way to do it if you find it works better for you. I find the vote scores a good indication of how the community is behaving - or being brigaded - and I always evaluate them in that light. It’s like if someone says something in a crowd and the reaction is either “woo” or “boo” or “…”, you can use that to read the room. I like vote scores for that reason.

    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.
