Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced a $4bn ten-year investment in remote Indigenous housing in the Northern Territory, aiming to deliver up to 270 extra homes per year, totaling 2,700. The investment seeks to halve overcrowding in remote Indigenous communities. Critics inferred that remote housing costs $1.5m each, but the inference is misleading as the investment will provide much more housing than currently available, though not as much as needed.
