Newsbreak! The Swiss will be having a referendum on basic income as a constitutional right, on the 5th June this year! By October 2013 more than 130,000 citizens had signed a petition, meaning a referendum on the issue had to be held. Finland is planning to shell out $876 per month per adult to replace existing benefits. |

Spread the message! One of our most important tasks is to bring ourselves up-to-date with the basic income concept. If you would like some help, get together and form a local group and get in touch. We may be able to visit and give a seminar, or contact you with pointers about spreading the basic income message. | | |

Professor Guy Standing Professor Guy Standing's visit is an opportunity to raise the profile of the 'universal basic income' for NZ. Prior to the AGM Professor Standing will be speaking at the Future of Work Conference 23- 24 March in Auckland. Then on Monday 28 March (Easter Monday) Professor Standing will speak at the Fabian Society in Wellington. We would like to have a public demonstration of support at these events to show our politicians. Contact will be made with members shortly! | | |
