 Jess WILSON (Kew) (13:00): Can I also congratulate Allanah and Vicky for organising Methodist Ladies’ College’s democracy day. It was absolutely enlightening to hear from the years 7, 8 and 9 students about the issues that they are concerned about and how they would like to address them in their school. I heard about compost bins and sustainability; increased services on public transport, particularly during peak times; and inserting a section into the curriculum around women in conflict. The girls were incredibly passionate; they were incredibly informed. Congratulations to the students for being part of MLC democracy day and being part of our democracy in broader terms.
