Discuss.
comprehensive civics education and direct connection with
politicians is little help if young voters cannot fathom the direction
that the major parties are taking, if there is a direction at all. If they
cannot see their values and ideas for change reflected in the vision of
any political party, then obviously they are likely to feel disconnected
from the world of politics.
The majority of young people are optimistic about the future and
want to involve themselves in shaping Australia. They have vision
and they have hope. Now it’s time for the parties to have them too.
