Parliament youth forum

David LIMBRICK (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (09:43): I had the pleasure last Wednesday of attending the Parliament youth forum. It was wonderful to meet so many young people enthusiastic about participating in politics and learning about how our Parliament works. The staff at Parliament also did a great job of organising the event and explaining the various mechanisms through which young people can contribute. Whether we agree on policy or not, members of this house should all welcome more active participation in politics. It would likely raise the tenor of debate and, dare I say, the quality of policy and laws passed.
