Chapter 7 in Implementing a Basic Income in Australia, 2019, pp 129-145 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Achieving a Basic Income requires an appreciation of the political context and a political strategy to shift the discourse and build power. This chapter outlines the existing political context in Australia, analysing the positions of the major political parties and civil society organisations, challenging the narratives of stigmatisation of the vulnerable and fetishisation of paid labour and proposing approaches to build support for Basic Income.
