Greens MP Mehreen Faruqi a guest speaker

Greens MP Mehreen Faruqi has been confirmed as one of the key speakers at the 2018 Armidale Regional Youth Forum.

"It's a tremendous privilege to be part of the Armidale Regional Youth Forum and be able to discuss the future young people want," she said.

"At the moment young people, especially in regional areas, face challenges like never before - the cost of housing and education, a lack of work opportunities and a political system that isn’t listening to them.

"I'm really excited about the opportunity for a frank and open discussion and hearing young people’s views on what we need to do."
