President, officers and members of the Filipino community organisations
And
Above
all
The notable
young people participating in the forum today.
It is indeed my privilege to be invited to speak
at this important gathering of Filipino-Australian youth.
The world of the young is exciting - Your
world is a world where everything is possible.
You are always on the move - once you've
done something you want to quickly move on to the next.
You want things to happen right here and right now.
What makes your world even more exciting is
that you are children of immigrants. You
offer diversity to our society.
Your heritage makes you unique. It also makes you resilient
young people, who can readily cope with change and handle new situations with
great balance.
Australia is lucky to have a third of its
population comprise of young people of diverse backgrounds, like yourselves, who bring vitality and dynamism to our society.
Equally, you are lucky to live in a country
of opportunities where your work, aspirations and future are valued.
The State of NSW takes its responsibility towards
the youth seriously. It has put in place
structures to harness the future of its young population, such as:
·
the
creation of the NSW Youth Advisory Council that advises government on youth
issues, and
·
the
creation of a register of young people who can be appointed to become members
of boards and committees.
The Government also consults with the
Student Representative Councils of which some of you might be members, and has
established a reference group to inform on matters relating to young people.
The Community Relations Commission carries
this mantle further, by providing vital opportunities to young people through
the appointment of two youth Commissioners on its board.
