Constituency questions
Northern Metropolitan Region
Sheena WATT (Northern Metropolitan) (12:48): (254) I have got a question this afternoon for the Minister for Youth, and the question is: can the minister outline how the Andrews Labor government is supporting Victorian Youth Fest in the Northern Metropolitan Region? It is a very exciting month-long celebration in September where young people have a chance to come together and host events that showcase their talents and reflect the diversity of our state. The young folks of the Northern Metropolitan Region enjoy a tapestry of rich cultures, and Victorian Youth Fest is an important opportunity for newly arrived young people, Aboriginal young people, young people from diverse cultural backgrounds, young people with disabilities, young folk of the LGBTIQ+ community and many others to build connections, express their creativity and engage with other young people in the community. I am really excited to see how Victorian Youth Fest events in Northern Metro come alive in September, and I look forward to hearing from the minister on how the Andrews Labor government is backing young people in my community.
