Fueling the Ideas Boom with a Universal Basic Income - Sydney Meetup in January

Now that Innovation is the focal point of Australian Politics, it is time to explore how a Universal Basic Income might fuel the Ideas Boom promised by Turnbull.

Joffre Balce of the Association for Good Government will start by covering the fundamentals of a Universal Basic Income.

Shane Greenup will then present his argument for why a nationwide Basic Income would unleash a wave of innovation unlike anything ever seen before.
