Can I now ask why Elliott Community Council has not been considered as one of the 70 communities, given that, as I understand it, the criteria were those communities of 100 or more residents? Elliott has 650 residents. It is deemed, as I understand it, to be a town camp. If that is the case, could the minister please explain a ‘town camp’? To which town is it associated, seeing that it is 700 kilometres south of Darwin and 780 kilometres north of Alice Springs?
