22.22 UWFB Yes, We Can Have It All!

Friday, 9 December 2022 - 5:30pm to 6:30pm

We can harness the many wonders of the Job Guarantee (which featured recently in a Boyer lecture given by Indigenous lawyer and activist, Noel Pearson.) We can include everyone in the economy, but we won’t be using a "Universal Basic Income". And watch out Gina, Kev the Commie is coming after your wealth!
