My question is for the prime minister. For the first time in modern history our young people will be worse off than their parents. They face converging crises of climate, environment, housing, mental ill-health and so much more. It's clear our short-term siloed thinking is harming us. Today I introduced the Wellbeing of Future Generations Bill. Prime Minister, will you consider adopting my bill, which requires a long-term lens and the wellbeing of future generations to be considered in all government and public policy decision-making? If not, why not?
