CEFA’s Director of The Parliamentary Club National Initiative, Don Perna, was invited to address the summit in the McKinnon Theatre at the University of Wollongong after his submission, detailing the initiative’s capacity to produce a new generation of highly informed and active citizens, was chosen by Ms Jennie George MP and Ms Sharon Bird MP as the most innovative idea.

Ms George and Ms Bird are both highly supportive of The Parliamentary Club initiative as each has had first hand experience visiting CEFA’s pilot schools, and can see the massive potential it has to engage young Australians in learning about our nation’s democratic processes and understand their role as citizens within a democratic society.
