Aotearoa General Assembly - Basic Income

This is a networking forum for people from any political group, party, or background, who want to cooperate on a sustained campaign for some form of income supplement, covering the cost of basic needs like food, housing, clothing etc, and guaranteed to everyone who lives permanently in Aotearoa, regardless of their income from other sources. Various schemes have been suggested over the years for implementing this, including Universal Basic Income (UBI), Guaranteed Basic Income (GBI), Citizens' Dividend (CD), or Reverse Income Tax (RIT). This forum will be a space for discussing the pros and cons of various schemes, and planning actions to make it politically possible.
