These awards are now in their 24th year and recognise Canberra young folk between the ages of 12 and 25. There were over 113 nominations across six categories. In addition to Dainere and Jarrett being jointly awarded the young Canberra citizen of the year, awards also went to Emily Cheney for the personal achievement award, James Presneill for the individual community service award, Alex Moffat for the youth arts and multimedia award, Maris Tebecis for the young environmentalist award, and the Weston schools network student representative councils won the group awards.

When we look at the fabulous work youth in our community do, it bodes well for our great city as we enter our second century. I want to acknowledge those young folk and, indeed, all the nominations for that award. It is an achievement in itself to be recognised and nominated by your peers. Well done to the young people.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

The Assembly adjourned at 5.27 pm.
