I have some further information in relation to the question asked of me today by Senator Liddle, which I will simply read into the Hansard. The Commonwealth is delivering on a shared commitment with the NT to improve housing for First Nations people in remote communities. Under the historic $4 billion housing agreement, up to 2,700 homes will be built over the next 10 years to reduce overcrowding and improve living conditions across 73 communities and 27 town camps. In 2024-25, a record 222 houses were delivered in remote locations in the NT. This builds on the 206 houses completed in 2023-24 and the 257 houses completed in 2022-23.
