Young Australians for a Republic, presenting at the National Convention for Republicans, say that they will be tailoring a distinct Yes campaign for youth. Young people are interested in the Republic and the values it represents. But young people don't watch the 6 o'clock news. We expect a Republic and want a Republic.
Young people are republicans, but our mentality is different from that of the aspirign baby boomers.
Young people have grown up taking for granted the change in Australia that a Republic seeks to recognise. Young Australians for a Republic are presenting to the Convention a broad motion for the representation of all groups, including youth people, on a Yes Coalition Committee. This group will be representative of all groups promoting the Yes vote at this November's referendum, including young people. The mission of this group will be to ensure that the Yes messgae is understood by all potential supporters and ensure that they will vote Yes.
