The centrepiece of our reforms is 6,000 real jobs that have been subsidised across remote Australia. This is a direct response to what remote communities have been calling for: real wages for real work. It overturns the decision of those opposite that abandoned CDEP.

They will ensure that jobs continue long after the subsidy ends.
