Youth Voice In Parliament Week

Oct 8, 2024 | Speeches

This week is Raise Our Voice Australia week in Parliament, and I had the pleasure of reading out Ariba’s speech, a 14 year old girl from Wagga Wagga. Ariba dreams of a community where young people have more opportunities to grow and thrive, with better access to youth centres, creative spaces, and after-school programs. She’s calling for more support from Parliament for youth initiatives, innovation, and quality education. Congratulations to Ariba for her inspiring vision and awesome speech!
