Chapter Chapter 3 in Basic Income in Australia and New Zealand, 2016, pp 53-68 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter will begin with a brief history of income maintenance in Australia, concentrating upon the twentieth century before proceeding to compare the current income maintenance system with a basic income. It will then consider the ideological divide between these two forms of income support as it exists in this century. Robb Watts in Chapter 4 analyzes how the various aspect of income policies have evolved over the last hundred years. He pays particular attention to the period since the 1980s.
