The Nationals’ Member for Gippsland East, Tim Bull, is encouraging local students to take part in the 2025 Parliament Prize competition, now open for entries.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for students in Years five to 12 to have their voice heard on the issues that matter most to them and their community,” Mr Bull said.

“Students are asked to imagine themselves as a Member of Parliament and record a 90-second video delivering a Member’s Statement – the same type of statement MPs make in Parliament to raise matters of concern or interest from their electorate.”

The competition is open to all Victorian students across three categories: Years 5–6, Years 7–9, and Years 10–12. Winners will receive a cash prize for themselves and for their school.

“I encourage all students with a passion for their community, or a topic they care deeply about, to get involved,” Mr Bull said.

Entries close Friday, 13 June.
