Mark Boothman MP Blog - 2023 - Youth

Meet Genevieve, our YMCA Youth Parliamentarian for Theodore. Today she dropped into the office to discuss proposed legislation for this year's Youth Parliament. The topic is facial recognition technology. We managed to find some informative university papers on this technology.

This afternoon's debate topics by youth parliamentarians at the Cairns Regional Parliament are internet curfew to allow students to help around the house (clean their bedroom) and play sports. Plus, afternoon homework classes. 🤔 Most parents would love the idea of their children cleaning their bedroom.

This morning I had the pleasure of meeting Genevieve, our YMCA youth Parliamentarian for the Theodore Electorate. Genevieve has a passion for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. She is a very intelligent person who is always keen to learn more.

Scouts at the Queensland parliament. Brady is from Mudgeeraba scout group and I have to add, he is a wealth of knowledge. He is a highly skilled scout who is a master at rope knots, problem solving and is heavily involved in community service. We have two great scouting groups in the electorate, Coomera Scouts located at Gawler Place Upper Coomera and Helensvale Scouts is located at Shepparton Rd Helensvale.
