There's lower socio economic status areas in the suburbs like Caboolture in Brisbane or uh Broadmeadows in Melbourne also have high rates. voice-verified

But that turned out not to be the case. voice-verified

So in Melbourne, So it wasn't just about poverty. voice-verified

It wasn't just about poverty. voice-verified

So Kolak, for example, uh not a poor area, Mildura have more than twice the state average rate of of uh admissions for dental care. voice-verified
