On February 10th, 2025, Independent MP Dr. Sophie Scamps introduced the Wellbeing of Future Generations Bill to the Australian Parliament - an historic step toward making sure our leaders consider the long-term impact of their decisions on the generations to come.
This Bill gives us a powerful opportunity to shift politics from short-term thinking to long-term solutions - on climate, health, cost of living, education, and more. It’s common-sense, cross-party, and urgently needed.
As parents and carers, we know what it means to plan for the future. It’s time our governments did the same.

| ✅ | Appoint an independent Future Generations Commissioner to be a voice for tomorrow’s Australians |
| ✅ | Establish a Federal Wellbeing of Future Generations Framework to guide decision-making |
| ✅ | Create a positive duty for governments to consider future generations in all major policies |
| ✅ | Launch a national conversation about the kind of future we want for our kids |
I call on the Federal Parliament to support the Wellbeing of Future Generations Bill to ensure Australia plans for the future our kids deserve
Our kids deserve clean air, safe homes, and a better tomorrow. But new coal and gas projects threaten their future.
Right now, fossil fuel expansion is putting Australian families at risk - polluting the air our children breathe, driving up energy costs, and making extreme weather events worse.
We can choose a different future. One where families have healthy, affordable energy and a safe climate to grow up in.
It starts with raising our voices and showing up for what matters. Every voice strengthens the call for real action.
✅ Sign the petition to demand NO NEW COAL AND GAS and protect what we love.

To Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Chris Bowen MP - Minister for Climate and Energy, and Murray Watt - Minister for the Environment,
I am deeply concerned about the continued expansion of coal and gas projects in Australia. New fossil fuel projects threaten our children's future - polluting the air they breathe, contributing to rising household costs, and accelerating the climate crisis.
I call on you to commit to:
🚫 No new coal and gas projects in Australia
🌱 Investment in clean, affordable energy that benefits all families
🏡 A safe climate for all kids to thrive
Our kids deserve better. Later is too late. Act now.

The government’s own National Climate Risk Assessment confirms what parents across Australia already know: climate change is putting our kids and communities in danger.
As parents, we don’t take chances with our kids safety - whether it’s buckling a seatbelt, fitting a car seat, or being sun smart, we act on the best advice. We expect our government to do the same. That means shaping climate policy with science, not politics, and committing to net zero by 2035 with strong pollution cuts this decade. Anything less puts our kids' future at risk.
Dear Prime Minister and Ministers,
As parents, carers, grandparents and community members, we call on you to put the safety of our children at the centre of climate policy. The National Climate Risk Assessment highlights the escalating dangers of extreme heat, bushfires, floods, and other climate impacts. Just as parents act on expert advice to protect their children, we expect our government to act on the best available science. We urge you to adopt science-led climate policy that cuts pollution at the pace required, protects our communities, and gives every child the chance to grow up safe and healthy. Their safety cannot and should not wait.
Sincerely,
Australian parents, carers and grandparents and family members.
