Community Recognition Statement - Hana Marosa

I congratulate Hana Marosa on her recent acceptance into the Y's Youth Parliament as a taskforce member volunteer. That is a fantastic achievement and a testament to Hana's dedication to youth advocacy and community service. Hana has a deep interest in politics, government and democracy—which is great to see in anyone, let alone a young person, but especially in someone who is driven to help the community, like Hana. 

Currently studying politics and history at Sydney University, Hana generously dedicates free time to volunteering and supporting my team with local research and community issues. Her hard work, analytical skills and genuine interest in public service make her a valued member of our community. I am excited to see Hana's involvement in Youth Parliament, which will no doubt allow her to continue building skills and shaping discussions on issues that matter to young people. I congratulate Hana. Her passion and efforts are truly inspiring, and we are all seriously proud of her for this great achievement. I hope her time as part of the Youth Parliament is exceptional.
