What’s involved?
In the lead-up to the federal election on Saturday 24 November, the Australian Youth Affairs Coalition—Australia's youth affairs peak body—has compiled a list of questions and answers from the major political parties on the crucial issues affecting young Australians and the youth sector.
Spanning six key areas: Education & Training, Employment, Youth Participation, Health & Wellbeing, Housing & Homelessness and the Environment, AYAC's 2007 Federal Election Survey is an attempt to help inform voters of the parties' policies on the issues that affect the wellbeing of young Australians.
The questions they asked include:
- Does your party support the re-establishment of a federal Minister for Youth and, if so, what does your party see as being its focus?
- What will your party do with Youth Allowance and other education income support programs that have consistently been identified as being inadequate to support young people?
- How will your party increase the availability and accessibility of affordable housing for young people?
- What steps will your party take to increase young people's ability to receive mental health services in a timely manner that is affordable and accessible?
The survey is free for download and distribution.
