Ecmo: many years ago when we (ABS) released the socio economic indexes for the first time I have some vague recollection that someone looked up Long Bay in sydney as the most disadvantaged location in Australia (4 SDs below the mean). - I wonder why?

Could be a myth though.

TheInvisibleLog: There are a couple of streets in Long Gully that I refuse to use for control sites (Jobs Gully Street O map). As an indication, I believe it is the home base of the group that battered Bryan. I reckon this area would be pretty close on the SEIFA list. Will check next week.

blairtrewin: Sounds like the (in)famous Deer Park street-O a few years back, which featured, among other things, a couple of stolen or vandalised controls and a drug deal in progress interrupted by passing competitors.

Oxoman: That's only what people noticed.
