YMCA YOUTH PARLIAMENT
Papers
MS ELLIS: Madam Speaker, for the information of members, I present the following Bills, which were passed by the Canberra YMCA Regional Youth Parliament on 30 June 1994:
Car Registration Bill 1994
Media Awareness Bill 1994
Native Tree-Felling Bill 1994, including a letter from the Youth Chief Minister and Youth Leader of the Opposition; and
Child Pricing Policy Bill 1994.
Madam Speaker, I seek leave to make a very brief statement.
Leave granted.
MS ELLIS: Madam Speaker, I had the pleasure of accepting on behalf of this Assembly that package of Bills produced by the Youth Parliament on 30 June. In presenting the Bills to the Assembly today, I would like to congratulate everyone involved in the Canberra YMCA Regional Youth Parliament, and I am sure that I am speaking on behalf of all members when I offer those congratulations. The Canberra YMCA Regional Youth Parliament proved to be an extremely successful parliamentary session and is a great educational initiative we all hope to see continue into the future. The enthusiasm of the participants was evident, and I particularly note the awareness of topical issues reflected in the titles of those Bills that were debated and handed in today.
Madam Speaker, may I also acknowledge that we have several members of that Youth Parliament in the gallery today observing these proceedings, and on behalf of the Assembly I welcome them here.
MR CORNWELL, by leave: I would like to join with Ms Ellis. I had the pleasure of chairing the Youth Parliament once again this year. I enjoyed it as much as I did last year. I look forward to a continuing close association of this Assembly with the Youth Parliaments in future years, and I too most warmly welcome the members in the gallery.
