Speaker of the House Milton Dick is on a nationwide mission to revive civics education in Australia, convinced that with rising misinformation and global instability, young people must understand how democracy actually works. Visiting schools from remote towns to major cities, he’s targeting every federal electorate—and using quirky debates like pineapple on pizza to spark real engagement. With national test scores hitting a 20-year low, Dick’s push for consistent, meaningful civics lessons is urgent. He’s bringing MPs into classrooms, launching a National Youth Parliament, and even gifting each MP a ceremonial mace—because he believes every student deserves to see democracy in action, not just hear about it. His goal? To instill civic responsibility and protect Australia’s democracy for future generations.
