1. The Australian Greens deserve real credit for putting forward a bold and pragmatic anti-poverty policy like the #LiveableIncomeGuarantee #BasicIncome #UBI #AusPol2022 aap.com.au/news/greens-un… 2. @JohnQuiggin writes: 'The policy would increase all income support payments – for those looking for work, studying full-time or unable to work because of age, disability or caring responsibilities' #BasicIncome #UBI theconversation.com/the-greens-liv…

Higher Education in Australia: The Crisis we don't need to have. 1. Australian universities, such as Adelaide Uni right now, are facing large job losses. Bad for students. Bad for staff. Bad for the sector. #auspol #highereducation 2. The precise quantum of the federal government's contribution to Higher Education funding is difficult to calculate as @andrewnorton and Geoff Sharrock show andrewnorton.net.au/2021/05/14/the… geoffsharrockinmelbourne.net/2021/05/17/may… #auspol

@tribunemagazine This isn't the worst Left critique of #basicincome I've read. But a couple of things...
1. Universal Basic Services is just a re-badging of Left social democracy. Ergo, everyone should be like Scandinavia. Sure, that'd be great and requires enormous class power, etc, to achieve. @tribunemagazine 2. UBS certainly doesn't transcend capitalism and isn't necessarily more radical than UBI.
