    The Greens' policies on an RBA residential mortgage lender and UBI are garbage.https://www.crikey.com.au/2018/04/04/greens-ubi-reserve-bank-economic-plan-is-bonkers/ …

        Definitely disagree with the UBI opinion. Sounds worth exploring to me + we can maybe reduce other cumbersome and expensive welfare.

        Greens have no plot to lose they just make it all up and live in a PC echo box in which no one dare disagree

        A move that will curb banks' rotten risk management (so they may inflate land price bubbles and make super profits for their shareholders!) should be welcomed. It's too easy to kick the political underdog instead of bothering to look at the real benefits.

        isn't Finland doing this, and it's working for them? Scandinavia might be many things, but their methods of actually looking after everyone do work

        Why shut down debate and limit our options and scope to deal with multiple incoming crises? Let’s have debate, collect evidence about a UBI and see then. At least, that’s how policy used to be made?

        They argue that it'll cut wages which is a... novel argument.

        So people are less likely to accept rip off jobs just to survive, as they will have basic needs met, yet this will push down wages? Hmmm.
