My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, Senator Evans. Can the minister confirm to the Senate that administrative and indirect costs associated with the Strategic Indigenous Housing and Infrastructure Program total between 50 and 55 per cent of the total program budget, as stated by now sacked SIHIP project manager Mr Jim Davidson on ABC radio yesterday, and that when the alliance partners’ profit of up to 20 per cent is added to that, the total left for actual house construction is 30 per cent of the budget?
