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.

See all- Deep discussion - Modern Monetary TheoryLink visible for attendees
Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) has gained traction as a framework for understanding how government spending really works—but what does it mean for Universal Basic Income (UBI)? Could MMT provide the key to funding a permanent basic income? Or are there limitations that UBI advocates should consider?
Join Basic Income Australia for a Deep Discussion exploring MMT and its implications for economic justice, social policy, and the feasibility of a universal income. Whether you're new to MMT or well-versed in its principles, this session will provide a space for critical discussion and fresh perspectives. Let's navigate these choppy waters together <3.Hosted on Zoom: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82527159640

Meeting ID: 825 2715 9640***
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.

- Deep discussion - Immigration & Universal Basic IncomeLink visible for attendees
How does immigration intersect with the fight for Universal Basic Income (UBI)? Would UBI create a more just and inclusive society for migrants, or would it lead to new forms of exclusion? How do borders, citizenship, and economic security shape access to social rights?
Join Basic Income Australia for a Deep Discussion on the complex relationship between immigration, economic justice, and basic income. This interactive session will dive into the key policy debates and explore how we can advocate for a system that supports both newcomers and long-term residents alike.
