"The ARLP has been the most amazing journey of my life. The energy and inspiration received to go out and promote regional, rural and remote Australia is immeasurable. The personal growth facilitated by the program allows me in my current role as a politician to have a far greater understanding of the challenges facing rural and remote Australia and gives me a network of leaders to consult when issues arise and I need to get real and genuine input." – Peter Styles
