Having grown up and worked In the communities up north it doesn’t surprise me at all. The article is click bait however it does highlight the disparity in education, and living standards in our rural communities. Remember working in the NT and hearing about a young girl (f23) in the community who died because she stopped going to her dialysis treatments. IMO education and location play a massive part in this… most places are isolated.
