In Australia, significant current reforms to Indigenous affairs emphasize the mutual responsibilities of government and citizens. Under these new arrangements, government is mainstreaming many programmes and services for Indigenous people, whilst demanding that they assume greater responsibility for their own welfare. For its part, housing welfare in remote Indigenous and town camp communities is being repositioned under the mainstream public housing model. This paper reports on qualitative research on the micro-scale of housing policy implementation to highlight the local operation of a responsibility agenda in these settings. Based on interviews with Indigenous housing stakeholders, it argues that the outcomes of an ethopolitics in housing welfare are necessarily contingent in these milieus. The analytical framework of realist governmentality assists in capturing the relationship between government technologies and the actions of governable subjects. Specifically, new understandings of tenant reflexivity and resistance clarify why the prescribed tenant identity – the responsible tenant – fails to materialize in practice
