According to the 2016 Census, just 38.1 per cent of Indigenous Australians owned their home. While that’s higher than the 2011 figure by 2.1 per cent, it’s still well below the levels of home ownership for the Australian population as a whole (65.5 per cent). Lucy Dean asks why.
“People seem to skip over the part about how Indigenous people's land was taken,” said Amanda Young, CEO at First Nations Foundation. “It’s hardly surprising given the circumstances and the history that Indigenous home ownership rates are significantly lower.”
