I am aware of that but does any one know the reasons, are aboriginals turned away from hospitals or not given the care because they are aboriginal?
Is it because alot live in very remote areas where there is next to none health services, so relatively small health issues aren't picked up early and develop into chronic conditions.
What I am trying to get is a few examples of this systematic, repeatable structural racism.
Probably the biggest examples I can think of at the moment would be the Northern Territory "intervention" policy, and more recently inprisionment rates and changes to inprisionment laws again in the NT. Whilst some policies may not explicitly mention race, they are targeted or used nearly exclusively on Indigenous Australians.
