CALL FOR INDIGENOUS YOUTH TO APPLY FOR THE 2014 NATIONAL INDIGENOUS YOUTH PARLIAMENT (FED) The Australian Electoral Commission is calling on all Indigenous Australians aged 16 to 25 to apply now for the National Indigenous Youth Parliament (NIYP). NIYP is a week-long leadership program for young Indigenous Australians, to be held in Canberra in May 2014. Acting Electoral Commissioner, Tom Rogers said this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn directly from the people making decisions that affect Indigenous communities. The NIYP offers 50 young Indigenous Australians a chance to travel to Canberra and find out how government works and how laws are made, Mr Rogers said. They’ll get expert training in public speaking and in dealing with the media, and they’ll meet with members of Parliament and other national leaders.
