@ArthurDungasCuz We bring together a panel of youth workers, young people and youth sector leaders to put together the shortlist and interview the finalists :) yacwa.org.au/major-events/w…

how selected and who selects is a bit fuzzy.

The @LiberalAus promise 5% home deposits for 1st home buyers misses broader context of increasing demands on#ausyouth - increasing educational debt, insecure work, high yth unemployment + insufficient social security. Chair @ktacheson on @abcnews #youthontheagenda #raisetherate

#QandA Coalition high end tax cuts cost three times what it would cost to increase Newstart by $75 per week

Our CEO Ross is speaking at the @WACOSS State Budget Briefing — so much to comment on we ran out of time. Where is investment to support Aboriginal young people? For youth mental health? To divert kids from care? #WABudget

We’re here speaking on the missing elements in this State Budget — Aboriginal young people, early intervention, mental health. More to come from us in the coming weeks. #WABudget

You know what would suck - not being represented in parliament - No minister for youth since 2013 - No funding for national voice since 2014 - No plan since 2010 Time to put #youthontheagenda #ausvotes

Young people have been silenced in Federal Politics since 2013 when we lost our Federal Minister for Youth and funding for the national peak body the following year. We need EVERYONE to stand with young people and tell their MPs to #putyouthontheagenda — bit.ly/2ZKY9TS

Spent the morning at Foyer Oxford, Passenges, Youthlink and with Street Connect learning about these youth homelesness services, if you want info about them just send us a message.

We need a national plan to end youth homelessness now. #NYHC2019 youthhomelessnessconference.org.au
