An alliance of non-government and community groups have come together in a bid to make their voices heard in the Australian capital – fighting for better outcomes in outback Australia. @outbackalliance

The @outbackalliance launched their policy blueprint: New perspectives on challenges facing Outback Australia today with a BBQ at Parliament House. We share the Alliance’s vision for a #thrivingoutback, for the people and the land #auspol
“How do we get our voice heard by people who don’t live and work in the outback, and supported and turned into action? We look forward to talking to you all” Kate Forrest @NRMAlliance@outbackalliance#ThrivingOutback
“The Outback is a strong part of the heart and soul of Australia, and we must ensure that all Australians retain that connection.” - @RowanRamseyMP#ThrivingOutback
“We need to see services that meet the needs of those across our country, specific to where they live. This is particularly relevant to those in remote and regional Australia.” - @janet_rice#ThrivingOutback
“Recognition of the connections, centrality to families and the practice of customs, culture and management is core to the work of the organisations and people of the Outback” - Parry Agius, chair of NRM Regions Australia and @AW_NRM #ThrivingOutback
A thriving Outback is good for all Australians. The Outback is fundamentally different from regional and urban Australia, but no less essential for Australia’s economic development and global reputation. #ThrivingOutback
