        Nothing new about the policy. Milton Friedman endorsed it.

        The Oz trying to tell the Greens they are elitist & have no idea about poverty is a bit like Marie Antoinette telling King Louis what he needs to do to improve conditions in the Bastille. “Can we send them cake?”

        It’s not the Oz, it’s me. And yeah, I have some experience in these matters.

        My bad. I tend to assume nowadays anything coming out of the Oz is dictated by Rupert, or written by a lobbyist or cub reporter. Real journos tend to be a bit like de Niro’s character in Brazil ....

        dude, why not google the subject before posting nonsense? #BasicIncome at best covers food and rent ($2k/month).. u think that's enough for someone to give up on life and spend the rest of it on the couch? UBI doesn't discourage ppl from earning more money

        And why do you think you are entitled to income for doing nothing, take responsibility for your own life.

        UBI is a very good idea but conversation is needed. Basic Income is sound policy when done right.
