Just got back from Darwin myself and although I didn't see much, three things jumped out:

- lots of indigenous people compared to Perth
- lots of indigenous people in different walks of life with different levels of disadvantage
- the smallness of the place, its saturation in general (housing and rent are WAY more expensive than Perth which indicates to me there are bottlenecks in building new homes) and the consequent difficulties with infrastructure and labour for any public works project such as the NT housing scheme
