Except that's not how it works. Statistically the long term unemployed have a reasonable turnover rate and only a small cohort would be regarded as "unemployable." For example, pre-covid April 2019 showed over 96k unemployed for 2 years or longer (seasonally adjusted) and this had fallen to 45.5k last month. Some 30 years ago the same cohort showed 151.4k LTU in a significantly smaller labour force.

While that might be true, the fact remains that if you are ATSI then the quality of your family is less of an issue. Educational attainment and geography are greater impediments, eg,

That's not what proponents of the Voice believe. Better targeted policies, properly funded and managed projects, and local ownership of solutions has to be an improvement on past failures.
