I has been dubbed the “latte line” – the divide between poorer disadvantaged Sydney residents living in the West and their wealthy counterparts in living in the East.
Christopher Brown, Chairman of the Western Sydney Leadership Dialogue (WSLD), explained the “latte line” recently:
“As much as we are strong advocates of western Sydney, we need to be realistic that too many times we are on the wrong side of that line. In terms of per capita lower incomes, below average NAPLAN results and school attendance, higher unemployment and higher rates of preventable disease and hospital admissions.
