Tony Abbott (Warringah, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs. Does the minister stand by her statement in August that 85 new houses would be built in Alice Springs town camps under the Strategic Indigenous Housing and Infrastructure Program? If she does stand by that statement, how does she respond to a Northern Territory government official briefing last week that the program will deliver just 40 new houses for $100 million? Does she maintain that $2½ million per house is good value for taxpayers’ money?
