Junior Indigenous Youth Parliament

About the event

The Junior Indigenous Youth Parliament was held on Thursday 21 August 2025 in Cairns. 

This hands-on parliamentary experience was an exciting opportunity for Year 5 and 6 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to learn more about how Queensland Parliament works. 

Students allocated a speaking role either:

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

Some students were allocated a non-speaking or scripted role.
