Minister for Prevention of Domestic Violence Kate Worden says Labour would create a standalone housing department if re-elected in August to help build homes for Territorians faster, which would oversee and manage private, remote and social housing.

Ms Worden has also taken aim at the CLP following media reports that Steve Doherty, the campaign manager for Nightcliff candidate Helen Secretary had blamed domestic violence victims for staying in abusive relationships.
