My question is to the Prime Minister. In 1978 former Prime Minister Fraser appointed the first minister for youth affairs. Successive prime ministers from that date until 2013 appointed youth ministers, including three ministers during the Howard government years. Given that there are 2.6 million young people aged between 15 and 24 in our country, deserving specific representation, Prime Minister, will you appoint a minister for young people in this parliament?
