Universal basic income

Hi All. New member here. I wrote this blog post a while back about my thoughts on introducing a universal basic income and how to implement it that I wanted to share with you.

Hi Peter, interesting article and covers a broad variety of justifications for UBI. Pirates straddle the line between libertarian and left in a very unique political niche. If you haven’t read the PPAU UBI policy (or anyone else reading this) we have it here Platform - Pirate Party Australia Wiki

Thanks for that Miles. Yes I’ve seen this platform before and find it largely agreeable. I also come from a left-libertarian perspective. I like things to be as free as possible, but at the same time believe in having to some extent a levelled playing field so that everyone has opportunity to take advantage of freedom. Hence my strong support for things like Medicare, universal education and UBI.
