Anyone else here applied to go? Do you think it will be useful or will it just be ignored?

Bit late - applications closed almost two weeks ago

I was very surprised that noone had mentioned it on BOS...

Most people on BOS are smart enough to know it's a load of shit, that's why.

Perhaps on the face of it it's a joke, but you can't tell until afterwards.

I applied anyway, because I like going places in aircraft. Particularly jet aircraft, now that Virgin Blue comes up Port Mac way.

Even if it is completely ignored, the mere PR exercise is good in and of itself, IMHO.

Our school is supposed to be holding one of those school summit ones... I don't think it will turn out well.

Great. What we all need. More religion.

 

[Smithereens]

More Kate Ellis.

 

[Born2baplacebo]

No.

Less Christians.

Less religion full stop.

 

[Smithereens]

No.

Kate Ellis > Religion.

 

[Born2baplacebo]

Screw Kate Ellis and Religion altogether. Neither of them do me any good.
Kate Ellis - dyke

The Australian Government is committed to young people being ‘at the table’ when the long-term challenges of our country are discussed.

The ten critical areas of discussion are:

* Future directions for the Australian economy – including education, skills, training, science and innovation as part of the nation’s productivity agenda;
* Economic infrastructure, the digital economy and the future of our cities;
* Population, sustainability, climate change and water;
* Future directions for rural industries and rural communities;
* A long-term national health strategy – including the challenges of preventative health, workforce planning and the ageing population;
* Strengthening communities, supporting families and social inclusion;
* Options for the future of indigenous Australia;
* Towards a creative Australia: the future of the arts, film and design;
* The future of Australian governance: renewed democracy, a more open government (including the role of the media), the structure of the Federation and the rights and responsibilities of citizens; and
* Australia’s future security and prosperity in a rapidly changing region and world.

Who needs qualified professionals and experts when you have kids, lol

Another Labor talkfest

Sounds like what John Howard said 5 years ago.

Yeah I applied.

I got in, too. I'm going there in 2019 to STOP GLOBAL WARMING AND WORLD PEACE!!!

Aged 15-24, in 2020?

That means that the youngest people able to participate in it, are 3 years old at the moment! That seems kinda ridiculous when you have to apply now. :S Or have I got something wrong there??

I sure hope that was a joke, otherwise you've got something very wrong...

I wonder when the names of the delegates will be publically released.
