The Challenge, Conversation, Commissioned Papers and Regional Studies of Remote Australia August 2010

Abstract

Public concern about remote Australia focuses on the wellbeing of Indigenous Australians - this is reflected both in the role that the federal government has adopted and in the responsibilities that it has assumed. The remoteFOCUS report argues that this is insufficient: the scope of policy needs to be extended to include all the residents of this area and the delivery of services radically decentralised.
