What we’re about
A Basic Income (also called universal basic income (UBI), unconditional basic income, basic income guarantee), is a liveable wage provided to all citizens unconditionally. It's a complex issue that is discussed more fully on our website: https://basicincomeaustralia.com/
This group will have three main objectives:
1. Discuss and refine the concept - good ideas aren't born out of thin air, they have to be critiqued and analysed from every angle.
2. Publicise the idea and expand the public discussion - through targeted marketing campaigns and creating educational tools.
3. Campaign politically - confirming where politicians stand, promoting candidates who support it and pushing our own candidates as a last resort.

Deep discussion - Housing & Universal Basic Income
·OnlineOnlineWould a UBI actually improve housing security for renters and people with mortgages, or would it be eaten up by rising rents, higher interest rates, and existing debt? How do land values, credit, and financialisation shape who really benefits from income support?
Join Basic Income Australia for a Deep Discussion on housing and UBI. This session will unpack common concerns like rent increases, mortgage stress, interest rates, and the risk of losing or reshaping existing housing supports. We will look at what a UBI can and cannot do on its own, and what other housing or tax policies might be needed alongside it. Let's navigate these choppy waters together <3.
