Describe 3 reasons why indigenous australians may experience food inequity?
Reason 1: Because they are not educated they cannot receive money besides pensions and allowances, therefore cannot buy the higher quality food that we enjoy every day and get required nutrition from. Reason 2: In some cases, because of where the Indigenous Australian settlements are located, some foods cannot be transported there because of the long journeys. Where things like fruit and vegetables can easily be spoiled. Reason 3: Because many Indigenous Australians are addicted to drugs and alcohol because of lingering mental issues such as depression, the little money they have is misused on these things.

What did the Australian aboriginal do to get freedom or equality?
I for one, would like to know what the Australian aboriginal has done to get freedom or equality because as far as I'm concerned, they don't have either yet. Many would (rightfully) argue that Indigenous Australians do not enjoy the freedoms and equality that non-indigenous Australians enjoy. Equal opportunity to quality, affordable housing, healthcare and education opportunities are far below the non-indigenous population. Indigenous Australians have a much lower life expectancy than that of their non-indigenous counterparts. As long as mining companies continue to pay huge royalties to indigenous populations as they completely deplete and pollute their traditional lands (many of which are environmentally sensitive), their communities and culture will be in constant turmoil and conflict: unable to live their traditional ways and yet struggling to use the mining royalties to address the huge problems of drug and alcohol abuse, domestic violence and abuse amongst their populations which are the result of 200 years of white oppression, attempted genocide and the theft of their children and lands. The historic landmark Mabo Decision seems to have had little impact on their hope for self determination and the betterment of their prospects and culture. Indigenous Australians are imprisoned at a far higher rate than non-indigenous Australians for the same offence. Deaths in custody have been the subject of Royal Commissions and police neglect, abuse and brutality against Indigenous Australians are well documented.
