For our second 2026 book club, we’ll be reading A Basic Income for Australia: A Fair Go for All by Brian Donaghy, a clear and practical exploration of what a UBI could actually look like in the Australian context.
This book focuses less on abstract theory and more on real policy design, political feasibility, and the choices involved in moving from idea to implementation. It’s especially useful for anyone interested in how UBI fits within Australia’s existing welfare system, labour market, and public debate.
We’ll dig into the trade-offs, the sticking points, and the big questions about how a basic income could work here, now. As always, no expertise required, just curiosity and a willingness to discuss.
