Climate polluters are fuelling the cost-of-living crisis by driving up energy, food and insurance prices. While they rake in record profits, Australian households are stuck footing the bill.

Idling pollutes the air wherever it happens, but near schools and childcare centres it’s especially harmful, because children are right there, walking, playing, & breathing in exhaust at close range. ‘Idle Off’ is parents & doctors working together to encourage drivers to switch their engines off.

Doctors for The Environment Australia @docsenvaus.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

While there are some welcome measures supporting renewable energy and environmental protection, overall the Federal Budget does not reflect the urgency and gravity of the threat to Australians’ health and wellbeing posed by the interconnected crises of climate change, biodiversity loss & pollution.

Gas is harming our health and our planet. Polluters must be held accountable. They should pay for the damage they're causing and help fund the transition to renewables.

Our oceans are dying. Our land is burning. And without urgent climate action, it will only get worse. How much more devastation will it take before our leaders put human and environmental health before climate polluters?
