STORYLINE:
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has unveiled a new multi-billion-dollar fund to build new homes in outback Indigenous communities.
Albanese on Tuesday announced a joint 4 billion Australian dollar (2.6 billion U.S. dollar) investment from the federal and Northern Territory (NT) governments over the next 10 years for housing in remote communities across the NT.
Under the scheme, the government estimates that 270 new homes will be built every year, following on from a previous agreement that has built 650 homes in 73 remote NT communities since 2018.
Albanese said in a statement that the funding would help achieve the goals of the Closing the Gap framework, a government strategy to reduce Indigenous disadvantages.
