Young People

Between the cost-of-living crisis, housing crisis and climate crisis, making policy that actually serves young people has never been more important.

Our key policy initiatives for young people include:

  • Developing a youth homelessness strategy for the ACT
  • Unf*cking student housing
  • Investing in safe, free and accessible third spaces where young people can come together and connect.

We also believe that young people should have a real say in the decisions that affect them and so we support the campaign to lower the voting age.
