But after $1 billion has been spent on income management in the NT and more than $225 million spent on Government Business Managers to take control of community administration, the Stop the Intervention Collective says the report highlights government waste.

A report issued by the Northern Territory Coordinator General for Remote Indigenous Services has sparked renewed calls for the scrapping of compulsory income management.
