This book brings together scholars from the fields of politics, philosophy, sociology, anthropology and economics, to explore pathways towards implementing a Basic Income in Australia. It is the first book of its kind to outline avenues for implementation of a basic income specifically for Australia and responds to a gap in the existing basic income literature and published titles to provide a distinct standpoint in the exploration of basic income within the Australian contemporary social policy landscape. The first part explores key issues for implementation, such as lack of political leadership, cultural hegemony around the paid work ethic as the foundation of social citizenship, and potential impacts of the abolition of the Community Development Employment Projects scheme for Indigenous Australians. Part two features papers outlining pathways to an Australian Basic Income that look at political strategy, young people, organized labor, Canada as an example, and effects on the Australian economy.
