Two Government ministers are calling for greater recognition of the positive contributions being made by young people across the country.

Minister of Home Affairs and Information Gregory Nicholls and Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office with responsibility for Youth and Culture Senator Shane Archer both stressed the importance of highlighting successful youth initiatives so that young people can see positive examples among their peers.

The ministers made the comments while speaking at the opening of Outlet Auto Spa, the second business venture launched by 24-year-old entrepreneur Tyrique Wilson.
