Mr WOOD - 2012-11-01
Your government has promised $5200 per occupied house on homelands and outstations. The CTC’s final report showed 2425 dwellings in homelands. What do you expect the annual cost of the program to be, and what is the money to be used for? When will the program start, and will it be annual? Who will receive the money and who will decide which houses are eligible? What will the definition be of the term ‘occupied’ and who will monitor the distribution of this money?
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, I thank the member for Nelson for his question. We are in the consultation process; we have gone out as a subcommittee and looked at outstations. It is about us as the Country Liberal Party listening to people.
Ms Walker: That body of work has already been done by this side.
Ms ANDERSON: That was the CTC. The member for Nelson does not run this Chamber any longer. He had the perfect opportunity, for two years when he governed you, to ensure these things were done.
Madam SPEAKER: Member for Namatjira, direct your comments through the Chair please.
Mr WOOD: A point of order, Madam Speaker! Relevance. A series of question needs to be answered and they are not being answered.
Ms ANDERSON: Madam Speaker, I am putting the story together. You had the perfect opportunity. You did not do anything about it in two years. You gave these people the power to do nothing. We are listening to people.
This government is about hearing the voices of the most vulnerable. We will talk to Aboriginal people on homelands. They are the people who put you across there; that is why you are sitting across there and why you do not have the power.
My agency is putting the information together. We will listen. If you want a briefing, see me.
