Nate Wilbourne: Youth MP addresses claims that the Government is censoring their speeches

Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

There's growing claims of Youth Parliament censorship.

Some young people say they've been told their speeches can't be critical of the Government.

But organisers say although changes are sometimes suggested - Youth MPs make the final call on speech content.

Nate Wilbourne is part of the Youth Parliament and says it feels like a mandate.

He says he was sent an edited version of his speech that cut most of it, but he's sticking with the original.

"I'm here to give my voice on what I care about and what my community back in Brightwater and my electorate care about."
