A $250 million package for Alice Springs and Central Australia was revealed in the federal budget last year with plans to improve education, health and infrastructure in the embattled Territory.
Labor MP Marion Scrymgour has called for the PGPA Act to be tweaked to ensure greater accountability of organisations using federal government funding in the Northern Territory.

Speaking just a day after the Northern Territory’s two-week youth curfew was extended for an additional week, Ms Scrymgour said local organisations needed to act more effectively to stop relying on government intervention.
