Quote:
"Indigenous Australians are around twice as likely as non-Indigenous Australians to be financially excluded –that is, to lack access to appropriate and affordable banking services and products. "
Too often, Australian Aborigines lack proof of identity:

"MANY Victorian Aborigines are barred from obtaining a driver's licence, voting, opening a bank account and receiving social security benefits because their births were never registered and they officially don't exist."
"The sharing of devices leads to insecure banking, causing some to avoid online banking and Centrelink accounts altogether."
Just one more in a grand litany of incidents where Australian Aborigines are excluded from the society that stole the land from them ..
