Young Australians keen to have a say on the issues that matter most to them will soon have their speeches read out on the floor of parliament house in Canberra.

More than 80 politicians from across the political spectrum representing every state and territory have agreed to read out 90-second speeches from young people living in their electorate this November.

All Australians under 21 are eligible to submit writing based on the topic “What should Australia’s new parliament accomplish?”

Raise Our Voice Australia chief executive Ashleigh Streeter-Jones said many young people were unsure about how to create change and were under-represented in parliament.

“We know that people turn away from spaces in which they don’t see themselves represented so we’re really, really keen to change this,” Ms Ashleigh Streeter-Jones told AAP.

She said the program aims to increase political literacy of participants, help them connect with MPs and teach them how to advocate within the political system.

“We also hope to put the issues that young people care about in front of the politicians who represent them,” she added.

Twelve-year-old Dani Freilikh said it was an honour to have her speech on gender equality read out by the previous Member for Wentworth Dave Sharma in 2021 and she’d encourage others to take part this year. 

“It was really great to have my voice heard in parliament and for someone to appreciate what I have to say and my ideas” Ms Freilikh told AAP.

“I’ll always remember writing it and having it being read out, it’s a really memorable experience for me.”

Climate change has so far been the biggest issue raised during the two years the campaign has been running, followed by equality and mental health.

Politicians will have the final say on the speech and the deadline for submissions has been extended until Friday October 21.
