As the Minister for Youth, I really want to see our young people supported to thrive, and we can't do that well unless we make space to really listen to them to understand what's important to them, what their concerns and aspirations are, and then, to act on that. And that's exactly what our Government is doing, and I'm incredibly proud of it. This is particularly important in the current environment, where we're into the third year of a global pandemic that has disproportionately impacted our young people. The specific impacts on our youth include things like missed education, employment, and training opportunities, increased disengagement and disconnection, and significant impacts on their mental wellbeing as well. Now, none of these are new issues; they've experienced that before—they've been existing—but these have been exacerbated by COVID as well. And, as if the pressures of a global pandemic weren't enough, we're also seeing a global inflation spike as well as the result of ongoing supply-chain issues and the war in Ukraine, also.
