Federal Member for Gilmore Fiona Phillips is providing students in the electorate with an opportunity to have their say in Federal Parliament.
The annual Raise Our Voice in Parliament campaign shines a unique spotlight on the diverse voices, views, and opinions of Australia’s young people who possess invaluable insights but are often overlooked in political and policy debates.
Last year’s Gilmore winner, Bomaderry High School student Vihan Patel, wrote about flooding issues around his home, and suggested creating rain gardens as a solution to the problem.
Mrs Phillips read Vihan’s speech in the Federal Parliament’s Federation Chamber in October 2024, and she visited Bomaderry High School on Friday to encourage other students to enter.
Entries are needed by 29 August 2025.
