    Concludes that policy makers need to develop a greater depth of understanding of rural issues, give greater priority to defining the needs and entitlements of rural populations, and develop more appropriate services and responsive methods of service delivery if residents of rural and remote Australia are not to be left behind in Australia's social and economic development.
