Senator McCARTHY (Northern Territory—Minister for Indigenous Australians) (14:45): I thank Senator Polley for the question, a very important one. The Albanese government is delivering safe and secure homes right across Australia, including in remote First Nations communities. When you want the work done, call the Labor Party. We're getting on with the job of building 1.2 million homes, helping people buy and making renting fairer, unlike you guys. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator McCarthy, please resume your seat. Order! Senator Colbeck interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Colbeck, I've called order. Minister McCarthy, please continue. Senator McCARTHY: We're getting on with the job of building 1.2 million homes, helping people buy and making renting fairer, unlike this lot across the chamber. We need all options on the table, and that's what this Labor government is doing, because we know this issue is too important to wait. Too many Indigenous Australians live in overcrowded and run-down houses. Addressing overcrowding and poor housing is crucial to improving health, education, employment and justice outcomes. We're providing immediate support to the areas of greatest need, including the remote NT, where overcrowding is the highest. Earlier this year, I was with former minister Burney and Selena Uibo, an Indigenous member of the then Labor government, and also the member for Lingiari, Marion Scrymgour, and we signed a historic deal with the Northern Territory to improve housing over 10 years, worth $4 billion. This will see up to 270 homes— Opposition senators interjecting— Senator McCARTHY: So you don't want to see houses for remote regional Australia, or you don't want to see houses full stop—not even for remote and regional Australia? What about the $4 million investment in the Northern Territory. We haven't heard a word from that side—not one word, only constant criticism, when we know we need the houses in remote and regional Australia. The PRESIDENT: Senator Polley, first supplementary?
