Eleven-year-old Meg Thompson from Millthorpe in central west NSW spent Universal Children’s Day on 28 October as the Children's Commissioner.

Meg was chosen from more than a hundred children and young people who entered our 'Be the Commissioner for a day' competition. Meg's winning entry focused on the issue of bullying, how it affects kids' lives and the different ways bullying can occur.

During Meg’s day as Commissioner she advised staff at the Commission on projects for kids, met with the Department of Education to talk about bullying in schools and had lunch in the Parliamentary Members Dining Room where Meg caught up with the Minister for Youth, Graham West MP and Meg’s local member, Gerrard Martin MP.

Meg was given a special tour of NSW Parliament House and then went to Parliamentary Question Time where Minister West announced that she had been appointed Children’s Commissioner for a day.

Congratulations to Meg for her fantastic job as Children’s Commissioner!
