Aboriginal Housing Strategy

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:52): Supplementary: one very simple question. Under this plan, how many new houses—not refurbished houses—will be built in remote Aboriginal committees?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:52): We have been up-front about the issue of the amount of funding we have. We have been able to identify what funding already exists within the system. There will be further initiatives going forward into the future where we will be looking towards additional funding opportunities. We are very keen to make sure that we are consulting with those communities on what their priorities are prior to making any decisions.
