Jasmine said she was encouraged to be part of the region’s 2023 Youth Parliament team by Mia Braun who was part of the 2022 group along with current Loddon Young Citizen of the Year Jake Murphy

“I’ve also been encouraged by teachers at school and am excited to have been accepted into the program and the opportunities to meet other young people,” she said. “I am really looking forward to presenting our Bill to other members of the Youth Parliament for debate.”

Julie said she was keen to use the sittings of Youth Parliament to learning about the processes of Parliament and how issues were debated.

Last year’s local team gained the support of other young students when passing the Sustainability and Carbon Neutrality in Mining Bill 2022.

Youth Parliament is an initiative of the YMCA supporting people aged 16 to 25 to speak up and be heard on issues that they are passionate about.

Park roads will be closed for winter

FIVE roads in Kooyoora State Park will close from next Thursday until November, the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action said.

Aldridges Track, Back Road, Breakneck Road, Cemetery Road and Kirwans Road will re-open on November 2.

Mount Korong Firebreak Track is also on the closure list as are Chimney Track and Fisherman Hill Track in Kara Kara National Park.

DEECA said that as rain softened the tracks, making them vulnerable to damage, they would be closed to vehicles for visitor safety, to maintain water quality and prevent erosion during the wetter months.

“Seasonal road closures generally operate from after the King’s Birthday long weekend in June through to the end of October, but the closures may be extended if conditions are not suitable to safely re-open the roads.”

Apprentices get free rego
