It's a complex topic. Cosmopolitan white Australians generally tend to overcompensate on the virtue posturing front in regards to being pro black rights. Many not actually having ever met an indigenous member of our population. Rural w

Paper here: https://apo.org.au/node/318409 tldr; furnishing the homeless with intensive, long-term (if needed) support and rapid access to housing leads to good outcomes- both for them and the broader community.
