About us
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.

This event is for people who want to make a Basic Income a reality in Australia.
If we're going to make an Unconditional Livable Wage For All a reality in Australia then we're going to need to organise marketing campaigns, hold events, pressure politicians and more.
Connect with a national network of Basic Income advocates in this monthly meeting as we discuss and strategise tactics.
If you're feeling shy about coming along and voicing your opinions and strategic ideas, just remember that the movement can never grow if new people don't join in.

BIA - Policy Meeting - Phasing it in
·OnlineOnlineJoin Zoom Meeting
https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82527159640
Meeting ID: 825 2715 9640***
Basic Income Australia members are invited to take part in this policy-focused meeting.
This meeting will focus on BIA’s proposed phase-in approach to implementing a Universal Basic Income. The discussion will explore the advantages and possible pitfalls of introducing a UBI gradually, rather than implementing the full model immediately.
Participants will consider questions such as how a phased approach might affect universality, simplicity, political feasibility, and public understanding, and whether it strengthens or weakens the overall policy design.
