The federal government has announced a $34.1 million investment for young people and "developing future leaders" in Central Australia as part of a previous record funding commitment to the region.

$24.1 million of the allocation will be invested in youth services to promote the safety and wellbeing of First Nations youth, as well their families and communities, whilst another $10 million will be put towards helping strengthen First Nations leadership by building capacity amongst current and future leaders in the community and building leadership within Indigenous organisations in the region.

"Investing in our young people and future leaders helps build the foundations for strong, healthy communities," Minister for Indigenous Australians, Malarndirri McCarthy, said.

"It's vital we provide young people with every opportunity to succeed by being proud of their identify, feeling safe, and having the confidence to strive for a bright future."

The announcement comes after independent advice from the Central Australia Plan Aboriginal Leadership Group, who are engaging with the federal government to provide advice on specific projects and community designed initiatives to help support youth engagement.

The funding comes through the government's $250 million 'A Better, Safer Future for Central Australia,' a four-year plan being delivered in partnership with the NT Government, as well as local governments, organisations, and communities.

"These investment priorities have been identified by the Central Australia Plan Aboriginal Leadership Group and go hand in hand to support young people and grow community leaders, leading to a better, safer Central Australia," Minister McCarthy said.

Lingiari MP Marion Scrymgour, who is facing a battle to hold her seat from CLP candidate and former chairperson of the Larrakia Nation Aboriginal Corporation, Lisa Siebert, has been vocal in her calls to address violence and crime in Central Australia, which includes engaging with youths and leaders across the region.

"Fit for purpose youth services are the cornerstone for supporting young peoples' active participation in civic engagement, education reform and community enhancement initiatives," Ms Scrymgour said.

"I welcome this additional funding by the Albanese Government in youth leadership development in Central Australia, as a crucial investment in the future potential of aspiring leaders to turn their motivations into action that benefits the whole community".

Both major parties have set their eyes on the NT in recent days, with a string of announcements.

On Wednesday the Opposition leader Peter Dutton appeared in Alice Springs, saying the Coalition would support "in principle" all seven of the demands by the NT's Chief Minister in a bid to help lower crime in Alice Springs if they win the election.

Despite several announcements, including for school programmes, housing, jobs and the 'A Better, Safer Future for Central Australia' plan, the Coalition have argued the government have failed Territorians and has "forgotten about Indigenous communities" since the failed Voice referendum.

"We have to ask questions such as: where is the money?" Senator Kerrynne Liddle said on Wednesday.

"Where has it gone? How effective has it been? And these are tough questions. You need courage to be able to address these issues, and we intend to have the opportunity to do that."

Along with the funding for youth leadership, Labor have been pushing their $707 million Remote Jobs and Economic Development Program (RJED), whilst on Wednesday, more support for Indigenous Rangers off the coast of the NT to combat illegal fishing was announced.

With the opposition promoting audits of all government funded organisations - specifically land councils - as well as the need to reduce spending, Senator McCarthy reacted to the announcement that opposition spokesperson for Indigenous Australians, Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, had been given the additional portfolio of government efficiency, by saying she was worried this would only mean cuts to vital services for Indigenous Australians.

"She's going to be responsible for cutting programs," Minister McCarthy told CAAMA radio on Thursday.

"...is she going to cut… the school holiday programs like the one at the pool, the skate rink. These holiday programs are really important. So, we haven't heard what plan he [Peter Dutton] actually has for Alice Springs. We just hear all the negatives."
