Youth Parliament
Jordan CRUGNALE (Bass) (10:01): The 2025 Newhaven College Youth Parliament team are legislative influencers. Tilly Stetcher, Matilda Feehan, Miranda Zalunardo, Gabriel Di Falco, Nissa Campbell Walker and Jasmine Ruffin rose in the chamber to present and debate the Establishment of Community Gardens Initiatives Bill 2025 – its essence to promote accessible and sustainable gardens across the state – which was passed by a resounding 46 votes to two on the record. A congratulatory cheer to these super-smart, progressive, socially minded activists and to teammate Matilda who earned the Chamber Spirit Award. Young people excelling, bringing meaningful, positive change for the better – I too commend their bill to this house.
