 Nina TAYLOR (Albert Park) (17:30): (1118) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Youth Natalie Suleyman. The action I seek is for the minister to visit Albert Park to conduct a listening tour of our local schools and engage with students on issues that matter most to them. In Albert Park we are fortunate to have a number of outstanding schools, each with engaged and passionate students who are eager to contribute to discussions about education, mental health, employment opportunities, climate action and other key matters affecting their lives. A listening tour would provide students with a chance to express their views and experiences while allowing the minister to hear firsthand about the challenges and opportunities they face. Such engagement fosters great civic participation and ensures that youth policies are informed by the very people they are designed to support. I look forward to the minister’s response and hope to welcome her to Albert Park soon for this important initiative.
