The importance of making sure youth can have their say has been refreshed for National MP Tim MacIndoe after a session with Tongan Youth MPs.
National MP Tim MacIndoe was one of five MPs who travelled to the Tonga and Fiji on a Speaker-led delegation to the Pacific which included meeting with Tongan Youth MPs.
He told Daniela Maoate-Cox he's inspired by the passion of the Tongan Youth MPs and conscious of the fact they're fighting to get their voices heard.
Mr MacIndoe also says he's enjoyed meeting people and talking about issues of concern like climate change and rugby.
This interview is part of a series on the Speaker-led delegation to Tonga and Fiji. The full coverage can be found here.
