No, is the answer. I made it clear to the Senate in answering the first question that the government remains committed to the program and to delivering the targets set for it. That is our very firm intention and we will look to deliver the program as indicated. There obviously have been some concerns raised. The minister is seeking a report from the senior official, along with the Northern Territory government senior official, to ensure we are getting effective action. She will be receiving that report soon and that will address these sorts of concerns that have been raised. It is important that they are addressed. The minister has undertaken to do that and no doubt she will report publicly on that. But the government’s commitment to Indigenous housing, to improving the lot of Indigenous persons, both in the Northern Territory and elsewhere is undiminished.
