National Partnership Agreement on Remote Indigenous Housing

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:31): Supplementary arising from the answer where the minister informed the chamber that there are a range of discussions still continuing, and the matter is ongoing in relation to funding for remote Aboriginal housing: has there been an agreement reached or has any money been provided by the commonwealth government in the minister for housing's knowledge?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:31): My understanding is that the funding was published in yesterday's federal budget papers.
