CheckMate has previously addressed claims about $33 billion in spending, which social media users have attributed to spending on "dedicated Indigenous bodies".
The fact is, the figure relates to all "direct expenditure" on Indigenous Australians by state, territory and federal governments.
For comparison, $556.1 billion was spent on non-Indigenous Australians.
The eye-watering numbers reflect spending on everything from hospitals to public education and national defence, whereas spending on dedicated services and programs for Indigenous people was closer to $6 billion (1.1 per cent of direct expenditure).
