lack of regional competition

Just a quick question that I hope I can get answered. Why is there a big lack in competition on many regional routes, especially within NSW and SA. Look at Rex for example, they seem to have monopoly on SY-Broken Hill/Mildura and pretty much every RPT route in SA besides Port Lincoln. Why doesn't QLINK or VARA operate on this route? Is it purely a lack of demand or is there something preventing them from operating on these routes.

SY-YBHI is a 2 hour trek in a saab, surely if qlink operated a q400 and could shave 30 mins off travel time they would take a decent amount of market share.
