Show Worked Solution
  • D is correct.  The data shows healthcare services are concentrated in larger cities while remote areas have limited access, combined with lower median incomes, creating significant barriers to healthcare access.

Other options:

  • A is incorrect – Education levels are actually lower than state average in Western NSW.
  • B is incorrect – There’s a chronic shortage of healthcare providers, not an excess.
  • C is incorrect – Employment rates decrease with remoteness, and telehealth is proposed as a solution (not a cause) to current inequities.

Show Worked Solution
  • B is correct.  The initiative addresses high incarceration rates from driving offences, directly supporting education (SDG 4) through skill development and reducing inequalities (SDG 10) in the justice system.

Other options:

  • A is incorrect – While it may reduce stress, the primary purpose is addressing justice inequities, not health.
  • C is incorrect – Road safety is a benefit but not the main goal.
  • D is incorrect – The focus is on reducing incarceration through education, not primarily on health or infrastructure.
