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.

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.

•OnlineBIA - Book Club - Utopia for Realists & Humankind by Rutger Bregman
OnlineJoin Basic Income Australia for a special edition of our Online Book Club, where we’ll be discussing two thought-provoking books by Rutger Bregman:
📖 Utopia for Realists – A bold vision for a better world, advocating for Universal Basic Income, shorter workweeks, and open borders. Bregman presents compelling evidence that ideas once considered utopian can become reality.📖 Humankind – A radical rethinking of human nature that challenges the assumption that people are inherently selfish. Bregman argues that cooperation, kindness, and trust are at the heart of our success as a species.
Together, these books offer an optimistic yet practical roadmap for a better society—one where UBI plays a key role in reshaping work, welfare, and the economy.
Haven't had a chance to read the book? Don't worry and come along anyway as you'll still be able to take part in a great discussion!
