Dear Editor<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a regular listener of the Talking Point show, hosted by the esteem Senator Colin Browne,\u00a0 I went onto yesterday’s Point FM Facebook page, to tune into his informative talk show. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, Senator Colin was not air.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Immediately, I felt disappointed, however, because of my addiction to the program, I stayed on the FB page & realized that the Youth Parliament was showing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surprisingly, the clich\u00e9  ” within every dissappointment, there is a blessing ” took the best of me, because I had no regrets watching the Youth Parliament. It was a blessing in disguise.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I was extremely impressed with each speaker’s presentation. They all articulated with confidence, eloquency, clarity & fluency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was pellucid that the subject\u00a0 ” Urgent reform of mental health treatment ” was well researched & delivered. Both teams, The opposition & propositon did a great job.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Unlike what was seen in the Youth Parliament, the nation is yet to hear or see a dynamic debate in the Lower House of parliament.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The opposition paliamentarians seems to be weak and are yet to rise to the occassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be that as it is, it would be lovely see the youngsters have an unofficial debate against the senior ABLP parliamentarians in parliament. The topic\u00a0 ” Why should marijuana be decriminalized…? The Govt can propose and the youths oppose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am sure the debate will boosts the youngsters’ confidence & self esteem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will definitely bet on the youngsters. From my vantage point,\u00a0 the youths have showed great potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0 They have great debating skills & it is evident that they have displayed a considerable degree of national pride. Keep it up guys, continue to do the great works!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex<\/p>\n\n\n\n
