You are required to choose one of the groups explored in Module 2 (those experiencing poverty, women, transgender people, Indigenous Australians, and sexual minorities) and compile a brief report offering: a broad snapshot of the key forms of disadvantage and injustice/inequality that this group experiences in Australian society (using statistics from two of the following contexts: socio-economic position, education, health, or criminal justice) a discussion on how this information illustrates disadvantage and inequality for this group, using at least two unit concepts discussed in Modules 1 and 2 (such as life chances, structural inequality, lottery of birth, white race privilege), which we use when we talk about inequality and disadvantage.

Indigenous Australians remain the most disadvantaged and marginalised group in Australia. On all the standard indicators of poverty and disadvantage, Indigenous people emerge as the most socially and economically deprived.Although poverty in Australia is evident among all ethnic groups, it is Indigenous Australians who appear most profoundly affected by poverty. Research has shown, over the past thirty years since the Henderson Inquiry into poverty, that Indigenous Australians are significantly worse off than non-Indigenous Australians, according to all social indicators...Not only is poverty deeply entrenched, the causes are complex...despite government policies directed towards achieving economic equality for Indigenous Australians, there has been little improvement to their relative socioeconomic status, according to standard social indicators

Further Question: Stolen WagesInter-generational Consequences Along with stripping many of the rights citizenship would normally afford a person, such as the right to a pension, the Aboriginal Protection Acts gave Australia's state governments the power to administer Indigenous people's wages, and severe misuse of this power led to those wages being withheld and used by the government (Korff, 2020a). "One thing Aboriginal people haven't been able to do is build wealth. Wealth in terms of picking the suburb you live in, what sort of roof you put over your head, the types of schools that you send your children to, the type of health cover that you can provide for your family"—Adam Goodes, AFL player and former Australian of the Year, on economic inequality (Korff, 2020a) Propose some of the probable outcomes from this theft of wages on Indigenous Australians.
