Want to know what young people thought of the Federal Budget?
We asked them for you!
All the young people we talked to said they wanted to be consulted more on things that concerned them and be involved in the solutions.

I couldn’t have said it better myself, Greg Jericho. We saw #foodsecurity improve when #JobSeeker was increased during COVID. When you live below the poverty line, reliable access to healthy food is completely out of reach without #foodrelief . And so it continues. #RaiseTheRate

🎉Wins reported for children and young people so far!
There's already lots to celebrate in #Budget2024 for children, young people, their parents, caregivers and advocates.

'Wouldn't it be amazing if we had a minister for children who actually oversaw all these different areas that we're talking about that come together for children?''
