Replacing conditional welfare with an unconditional Citizens Dividend will simplify the administrative system and eliminate poverty traps.

A Universal Basic Income changes the game. Fusion's Citizens Dividend gives every Australian a baseline income set at the Henderson Poverty Line, then tied to national productivity so everyone shares in growth. It replaces complex, conditional welfare with a simple, unconditional payment. No means tests, no poverty traps, no bureaucratic churn. This means real freedom: workers can refuse unsafe or unfair work without losing income security. Trials and models consistently show strong poverty reduction and administrative simplification. Let's make Australia the next country to do it. #auspol #UBI https://go.fusionparty.org.au/OXWni

Fusion's Citizens Dividend would give every Australian an unconditional income floor, launching at the Henderson Poverty Line and later indexed to a share of GDP per citizen. No Centrelink churn, no behavioural conditions, no poverty traps. It replaces baseline welfare while keeping disability, housing, and family supports on top. The result: stronger bargaining power at work, freedom to retrain or care, and a simpler system. This is what a fair economy looks like. Join Fusion to build it. #auspol #UBI https://go.fusionparty.org.au/5MymY
