The gap continues to widen

SIR, – Seventy-five years ago my mother would drag me along when she went begging for food. I hated it.

Recently a relative, a single mother escaping family violence, also had to go begging for food.

Nothing has changed in 75 years – except if you are an indigenous Australian. As the gap widens, so does the amount of talk about closing the gap. Prison food is better than no food. J. Mcinerney Horsham
