Why are so many young people failing to engage in politics?

From Nine To Noon, 9:14 am on 22 September 2017

Today is the last day to enroll and already than 800,000 have had their say. But still more than 300-thousand people haven't done so - and just under half of them are 18 to 24 year olds. We are joined by year 13 student at Aucklands Ormiston Senior College, Anthony Hua - who says youth would vote if they thought their voice was heard and Laura O'Connell-Rapira who is the co-founder of Rock Enrol, an organisation that encourages young people to get out and vote.
