This Woman Is Still Living In A House Built As Emergency Accommodation 30 Years Ago
Once a day, Julie Martin walks to a tap about 50 metres from her house, fills a big bucket of water, and then lugs it back to her home.
In its four town camps Aboriginal people are living in houses that lack basic amenities, or are overcrowded or in disrepair. The kids sleep in Lizzy's room with her, she said."I have to tell them to sleep early so we can get some sleep and go to work and school. But you have to step over people on the way out, you know?"
Overcrowding can also cause sickness."There could be someone with the flu, you're in close proximity," Conrad Rory told BuzzFeed News. As well, Lizzy said many of the houses had plumbing and sewerage problems. The issue is also not limited to Borroloola: in 2014-15, more than half of Indigenous Australians in very remote areas lived in overcrowded houses.
If elected, federal Labor would work in cooperation with the NT government, Aboriginal organisations and Aboriginal communities to address remote housing, and would partner with the NT government on funding, he said.
