Albanese flies to NT to pledge $842m for Indigenous communities

Ronald Mizen

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will make a flying visit to the Northern Territory to unveil $842 million for remote Aboriginal projects amid fears Labor could lose the critical electorate of Lingiari.

The funds will be used to pay for policing, women’s safety, education and alcohol harm reduction in remote Aboriginal communities, as well as other services like helping people access economic development and employment opportunities.
