the argument. Still randomly selected to insure that each team has a fair chance, the groups have a
minimum of two weeks to debate the topic. By the end of each period, a vote is taken that focuses
on if the debate should conclude the next period. These debates can go on for a maximum of six
weeks ( 240 minutes ).
Parliamentary Debates are the most advanced form of argument, these debates are focused on
whether a certain bill should be passed. These bills will be from the youth parliament of
Queensland and other states, this insures that the issues are not too complex for a short debate.
These arguments will take place over a minimum of two weeks and a maximum of eight weeks
( 320 minutes ).
