18 We see houses that look like this:
19 And this: No exhaust fans for stoves, cracked walls, dirt floored verandah
20 What the Health Habitat data tells us: Lack of routine maintenance = 73% Poor initial construction = 19% Damage, vandalism, misuse or overuse by tenants = only 8%
21 We face Transitional Housing Issues MINYERRI The system failed the community after the govt displaced people from their homes; it did not provide transition housing while their homes were being upgraded Approx 400 people live in Minyerri community, located 4.5 hrs sth east of Katherine
22 MANINGRIDA
23 What keeps driving us? Self-determination Aboriginal rights enshrined in UNDRIP Article Indigenous peoples have the right, without discrimination, to the improvement of their economic and social conditions, including, inter alia, in the areas of education, employment, vocational training and retraining, housing, sanitation, health and social security. Article 23 Indigenous peoples have the right to determine and develop priorities and strategies for exercising their right to development. In particular, indigenous peoples have the right to be actively involved in developing and determining health, housing and other economic and social programmes affecting them and, as far as possible, to administer such programmes through their own institutions.
24 UN Special Rapporteur Of Indigenous Peoples The UN Rapporteur visited the urban based Town Camps in Darwin in March Ms Tauli-Corpuz was surprised by living conditions of Aboriginal people - she said could understand if she Was in the Philippines - but this is Australia!
