      abstract = {In most states of Australia, agricultural extension  policies and practices have increasingly been based on  considerations of private/public goods, user pays and cost  recovery. In addition, the delivery of extension has been  strongly influenced by changing administrative structures  and a change in the paradigm within which the extension  community operates. These changes have had major impacts,  including more extension being delivered by the private  sector. There are positive aspects to the changes and, for  some issues, they are appropriate. However, we have a  number of reservations, particularly about the  effectiveness of current extension systems in assisting the  adoption of complex environmental and farming system  technologies.},
