Nominations are now closed, as this program occurred on Thursday 29 August, 2024. 

The Junior Indigenous Youth Parliament provided a true-to-life parliamentary experience for Year 5 and Year 6 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students who attend school in the State Electorates of Burdekin, Hinchinbrook, Mundingburra, Thuringowa and Townsville. On the day students:

  • debated two motions, or
  • spoke in an adjournment debate or provided a private members' statement about any issue falling within the jurisdiction of the Queensland Parliament

The program was hosted by the Queensland Parliament and was chaired by the Speaker, the Honourable Curtis Pitt MP, along with local Members of Parliament.
