You miss the point PaulW. People in the bush do pay more for the things you
have listed.
What I object to is the Tax payer paying the additional costs for
aborigines to live in remote communities. They themselves not contributing
at all. If white Australians live in the bush they expect to have to travel

to access services, not Aboriginals. They expect and get services laid on,
courtesy of the Tax payer.
How is that fair?
