Minister targets states on remote housing
Federal Indigenous Affairs Minister Nigel Scullion has taken aim at Queensland and Western Australia for failing to commit to remote indigenous housing funding.
The NT senator fronted parliament on Tuesday after Labor called on him to explain his "failure" to engage in detailed negotiations with state counterparts about the future of the National Partnership Agreement on Remote Housing.
"Queensland and Western Australia have not put a single dollar on the table when it comes to remote housing," Senator Scullion told parliament after rejecting the opposition's claims.
