What is Pizza & Politics?
Pizza and Politics is YACSA's way of bringing together young people aged 12–25 years and parliamentarians in a Q&A-style forum in the lead up to each state election.
Connecting young South Australians directly with decision makers, Pizza & Politics provides a unique platform to discuss youth issues and the questions you want the answers to.
Panel members will provide a brief introduction on their party’s policies and positions relevant to young people and the youth sector before we open up for questions from the audience.
🍕 Refreshments and pizza provided!
We have invited representatives from the Labor, Liberal, Greens and SA Best parties to present their different perspectives and positions on the questions asked. Keeping the panel this size will also give attendees a better opportunity to hear from each panelist under time constraints.
Date: 19 February 2026
Time: 6 to 8 pm
Location: Youth Inc. (200 Pulteney St, Adelaide)
Cost: Free!
