Every day, cars sit with engines running while parked - this is called idling. It might seem harmless, but idling creates concentrated pollution where children and families gather, especially at schools and childcare drop-off zones.
This pollution can affect developing lungs, hearts, and brains, increasing the risk of asthma and other health problems.
By turning engines off whenever it’s safe, we can reduce unnecessary exposure and keep our air cleaner and healthier.

I pledge to turn my engine off when waiting, especially near schools and childcare centres, protecting children’s health and keeping the air cleaner for everyone.

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
