When we develop policies for remote communities, I want to ensure that it's done in a way that does maximise the catchphrase of 'jobs, jobs, jobs'. Two examples of this are Indigenous rangers and food security. Both of these policies are creating even more jobs on top of our commitment to 3,000 remote jobs. On rangers, last week, I announced 900 new ranger jobs on top of that. They will be created in the latest round of funding as this government continues on the path to deliver on our commitment to double the ranger workforce by the end of the decade. On food security, we're also delivering a new nutrition workforce in remote communities, with over 100 locally employed positions in remote stores. These roles will provide culturally appropriate nutrition support delivered by local people in local languages, improving health outcomes while creating new employment pathways.
