Adam Bandt:
“Young people are being hit hard by the economic fallout of COVID-19. Experts fear years of debt and unemployment. And it wasn’t like things were easy before.
For far too long you’ve been ignored by governments and copped the sh*t end of the stick. But while it may feel bleak right now – it doesn’t have to be this way.
The Greens are launching the Next Gen Guarantee, a plan that responds to the crises we face and sets you up for the future.
Under our plan, you’ll get a free place at uni or TAFE, or an apprenticeship or traineeship, so that you can pursue your passion. You’ll get a secure and decent job if you want one or a guaranteed income that you can actually live on.
Hundreds of thousands of jobs will be created in industries that tackle the climate emergency and build a more caring and creative society. No one will be left behind. But we won’t stop there.
The Greens will keep fighting for a cleaner economy and a fairer society through a Green New Deal. Together, we can build a better future, for all of us.”
