ELWOOD COLLEGE.
Young people should have a voice - and should speak about important issues that affect them. I recently visited Elwood College and encouraged their nine hundred students to speak up and congratulated the new school leaders.
Next election new Voters. Getting in early. Good move. :)

Thank you James Newbury MP - Member for Brighton. That is so special.

IN PARLIAMENT - BEACH ROAD & ORLANDO STREET.
When does the State Labor Government intend to fix the Beach Road bottleneck near Small Street in Hampton, which is causing unnecessary delays and havoc in surrounding residential streets?
Block off Linacre Rd off Beach Road as well. So many crashes. Most months.
I cannot understand why Beach Road isn’t a Clearway during peak times, especially that section between Orlando and Linacre Rd where a few selfish people park their cars forcing the traffic into ONE lane causing a massive bank up. The cars are off the street between 6 + 10 am Sat and Sun why can’t they be parked elsewhere between say 3 and 7 pm ? (perhaps someone with a lot of “pull” lives along that section ?) Large sections of Beach Rd are “No Standing” why not this section ?
Well done, can we also have parking restrictions in all of Orlando St not just part of it.

WHAT MATTERS TO YOUNG PEOPLE?
Less than one in ten young people feel represented by government but two out of three young people want to be engaged. Yesterday, I hosted the Australian Youth Representative to the United Nations, Kareem El-Ansary, in Parliament House as he launched his report into the concerns of young people. We were also lucky to have the incredibly inspiring footballer Tayla Harris join us for the event.
Young people would like to be able to find work! It is becoming increasingly difficult for young people to find meaningful, full time jobs. Jobs are going overseas and companies are only offering 6 month contract work. It's very challenging.

CASH FOR CONTAINERS SCHEME - LET’S DO THIS!
Victorians are champions of sustainability. Our recycling shouldn’t be going to landfill. That’s why the Liberal Party has committed to introducing a cash for containers scheme. I know you want this policy. I want it too - so let’s do this!
Why are we being made to wait another few years before this is started.
