Response to the Queensland Youth Strategy

26/8/2013

0 Comments

 
The following response firstly considers the four key platforms or statements made in the Foreword of the 2013 Queensland Youth Strategy and reiterated throughout the strategy and then each of its 6 “areas of connection” in terms of:
  • Whether each area reflects key concerns for young people and for the youth sector
  • The relevance of the attached action plan in addressing each area, and
  • What is missing.
This analysis clearly demonstrates that the Queensland Government, acting without any consultation with young people (especially those from marginalised groups) or with youth sector representatives, have developed a weak, under-resourced, inconsistent framework which is unlikely to benefit those young Queenslanders who most need services and supports.

Strengthening Community Associations Review

24/6/2012

0 Comments

 
YANQ welcomes the opportunity to discuss much needed legislative reform of eligibility for incorporated associations' management committees. We believe that the removal of discriminatory and arbitrary barriers to participation in society can be the basis for successful rehabilitation of people who have been in prison and can benefit the community more broadly. The suggested reforms give association members greater freedom and responsibility in the management of their organisation. We support a model where all periods of disqualification for people convicted of offences are removed. We support this model because we believe it will be of great benefit to our clients and to the community. It will also benefit our Network as we have been disadvantaged by being unable to use the expertise and experience of persons captured under this legislation, including Network member Debbie Kilroy OAM, who has subsequently received one of the highest accolades provided to Australian citizens.
