Youth Voice in Parliament 2022

Youth Voice in Parliament week (21-24 November) will champion the voices of young Australians by giving them a voice in Parliament and online. Politicians across the country have committed to reading a speech written by a young person aged 21 or under in their state, territory or electorate. This is an opportunity for students to raise the issues that matter most to you, in your words.

This initiative is open to any person under the age of 21 and the task is to create a 90-second speech submission (approximately 200 words) which answers the question: What should Australia’s new parliament accomplish?

There are lots of tips about what makes a good speech, how to get started and the template to use for the submissions here. This is also the website where students can upload their final submission. Speech submissions are open until 19 October.
