The Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Hon Milton Dick MP, today launched the Department of the House of Representatives’ My First Speech competition.
Imagine yourself as a newly elected member of the House of Representatives. You have Parliament’s attention. What will you say?
This national competition invites students in Years 10, 11 and 12 to envision themselves as newly elected members of the House of Representatives and write a 3-minute speech, that focusses on a topic they’re passionate about.
One winning entrant from each year group will win an expenses-paid trip to Canberra to present their speech at Parliament House to the Speaker and guests, as well as a prize pack valued at $250.
