Indigenous News Update – Housing

by Robbo on March 25, 2009

in Indigenous News

  • Govt will not build houses in towncamps in Alice Springs unless Indigenous agree to sign a Government lease over land http://bit.ly/2y9il2

  • Taxpayer-funded houses in WA bush may be left to rot – too expensive for state govt to refurbish isolated to suffer http://bit.ly/Agjj

  • Govt to boost housing in 26 Indigenous communities – only the largest where health outcomes are not as good as smaller http://bit.ly/cLRFj

  • 26 of Australia’s largest remote Aboriginal communities will receive almost all federal government funds http://bit.ly/17Mrn8

I read a large amount of information each week on indigenous health and affairs. There is no way I can blog about it all. Many of the links I place on Twitter where I can be found as @BiteTheDust.

I will regularly compile these links and place on the blog under the category of Indigenous News Update.
