Youth strategy

 Annabelle CLEELAND (Euroa) (14:29): My question is to the Minister for Youth. In her first speech the minister also thanked Joe Myles’s wife Elizabeth Doidge, who received $195,000 from the CFMEU for her successful Melbourne City Council campaign while both she and Mr Myles worked for the CFMEU. Will the minister update the government’s Youth Central page encouraging young Victorians to get involved in politics to promote this CFMEU-funded pathway?

 Annabelle CLEELAND (Euroa) (14:30): A vision of the youth strategy is that young people are respected and central in decision-making. Will the minister revise the youth strategy to incorporate advice on how to compete with candidates funded by her corrupt supporters to ensure youth are central to decision-making?
