Hon PRIYANCA RADHAKRISHNAN: From the start I wanted us to collectively ensure that young people from a range of diverse backgrounds had the opportunity to be part of Youth Parliament. This year's Youth Parliament was one of the most, if not the most, diverse Youth Parliaments in the event's 30-year history, with around 35 percent of participants either Māori or Pasifika, 23 percent identifying with an ethnic community, 48 percent female, and 6 percent identifying as gender diverse. This is an increase all round from the Youth Parliament held in 2019. I understand from conversations with the Minister for Diversity, Inclusion and Ethnic Communities that she was also very pleased with the diversity of this event.
