Default Big Achievement For Me!
Hey guys...I was away last week at a Youth Parliament.

It is a great programme run by the YMCA where a group of 80 teenagers go off to Parliament House and debate legislation we had been working on for the last six months....my bill got passed! I am so proud because so much work went in to it and I also got in the local paper!

Anyway I just wanted to share...and show you the pic, coz it's a good one

Our bill was securing more rights for casual workers, at the moment the only job security they have is from industrial awards, so we had it legislated that a casual worker must get no less than 9 hours work a month...in awards at the moment the minimum is generally set at 3 which is stupid really because no one can have any form of income on that, even a student like myself.

That's great!

When you've worked on something so hard and it pays off, total gratification. I bet you're feeling good right about now.
