Student loans isn't what's stopping doctors from moving to isolated areas, it's isolation that's stopping them. Not just social, but professional.

And the monumental stuffing-up of the NBN will definitely have long term ramifications wrt to this, because it was absolutely fundamental infrastructure to help overcome that isolation. We've almost gone backwards, as far as that's concerned.

It's only one piece of a highly, highly complicated puzzle, but it is a very large and and absolutely essential piece ...
