- Summary:
-
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders are among the most disadvantaged groups in Australian society. The health and wellbeing of the first Australians has long been a cause of grave concern and national shame for such an affluent, developed country as Australia. Recent government intervention in communities riddled with substance abuse, violence, sexual abuse, law and order problems and overcrowding only highlights some of the many shocking effects of this disadvantage.
