The Problem is Simple
Every day, our future is gambled on multi-million dollar decisions that will affect Australians for generations. But unlike other countries, no one in our government is legally required to consider their long-term impacts.
Every day we see the cost: Young people locked out of housing. Climate solutions shelved with each new government. Hospitals and schools lurching from crisis to crisis instead of building for tomorrow.
The truth is: This isn't just about the future.
It's affecting Australians today.
It’s Working.
What we want
The short answer? Leaders who have our future front of mind.
The long answer? A generation of leaders ready to rethink Australia’s path, championing policies that secure a thriving future. We want to see a fundamental shift in how decisions are made, where the wellbeing of current and future Australians is at the core of policy design.
This election, let’s make sure our leaders understand:
our future isn’t up for negotiation.
The Wellbeing of Future Generations BIll
A vision for Australia’s Future
The choices we make today should set up a future where everyone can thrive, not one where young Australians are left fixing problems that could have been avoided. This proposal is informed by 2 years of research and consultation, and include:
This isn’t just about politics,
it’s about making sure Australia’s future is one we can all be proud of.
Let’s stop racking up a debt we can’t afford.
Australians have already shown their support for this approach.
97%
of Australians want policies to consider future generations.
81%
believe politicians think too short-term.
79%
support creating a Commissioner for Future Generations.
It’s time to shift from short-term fixes to long-term solutions.
Australians know that kicking the can down the road only makes problems worse. We need more than quick fixes. We need leadership that checks the bill, balances the costs, and ensures we are not handing future Australians a debt they did not choose.
Without the Wellbeing of Future Generations Bill, governments will continue to make choices without accountability for the future.
It’s time to build a future we can be proud of.
Have your say now…it takes 30 seconds.
