The Young Liberal National Party, also known simply as Young LNP and abbreviated as YLNP, is the youth division of the Liberal National Party of Queensland, and membership is open to those between 16 and 30 years of age.^[1] It exists only in Queensland, and is affiliated both with the federal Young Liberal Movement^[2] and the federal Young Nationals.^[3]

The Young LNP aims to provide a setting for young people aged between 16 and 30 to express their political views and contribute to the shaping of Queensland's political landscape. They provide the LNP with new ideas and policies designed to keep the Party in touch with mainstream youth.

History

The Young LNP was founded in 2008, following the merger of Liberal and National parties in Queensland. The Young LNP's history dates back to the founding of the Queensland Young Liberals in 1949, by Sir James Killen, and the Queensland Young Nationals in 1958.^[4] The Young LNP recognises the contribution of Sir James Killen to youth politics by holding an annual public speaking competition in his name.

Current Executive

The executive of the Young LNP is elected by branch delegates at the Young LNP Convention held in May each year.
