The Parliament of NSW is excited to announce that Jessica Johnston from Richmond Christian College in Ballina is the winner of the 2024 Parli-Flicks Short Film Award. 

This year, students from Years 5 to 12 across NSW were invited to tackle the thought-provoking question: “If you were a Member of Parliament, what is the one law you would want to pass?”.  

On November 13 the awards ceremony at NSW Parliament House celebrated finalists across five categories with Jessica announced as the overall winner. She was awarded a trophy plus a $500 prize for her entry, Helping Animals, which advocates for mandatory courses for new pet owners on how to care for their furry friend.
