Codebreakers Project

01 May 2024

Yesterday I had the immense privilege of hosting a group of young people from the Western Sydney Community Forum's Codebreakers project. The Codebreakers youth initiative engages young people from Western Sydney in conversations about race, identity and belonging on social media. The goal of the project is to inspire and empower young people to stand up and stand united again extremism, hate, violence and division, and champion community harmony. My thanks go to the inspiring group of young codebreakers who joined us for a tour of this place including Paige Bagley, Angelica Ojinnaka, Vanessa Dunn, Maddy Haywood, along with staff Joshua Bird, Kobra Sayyadi, and videographer Diego Murillo. It was inspiring to hear their stories and I was happy to take their questions on my experiences, on leadership, local issues and a range of other things. I look forward to seeing those promising young people succeed as our next generation of young leaders from Western Sydney.
