Welcome to the electrifying April edition of our newsletter! Buckle up, because we’ve got some thrilling updates and game-changing decisions to share:

Directors’ Dash

We are sprinting ahead with a $6K balance and an upward trajectory.

DGR status meeting: We’re targeting a pilot UBI for parents using food banks. Jess, our UBI trailblazer, has identified 5 pilots from around the world who nailed it. We’re about to pick their brains—stay tuned!

Backlog of ideas: We’re buzzing with fresh actions. Attracting new members? Working bees are our secret sauce.

Branding Blitz

Hold onto your hats! Tim Dunlop (yes, THE Tim Dunlop) is joining us on May 12. We’ll chat about his book, “Why the Future is Workless,” which screams UBI support.

Jess, our strategy sorceress, conjured up a draft info campaign system. It’s like having a Swiss Army knife in our toolkit.

We’re also rolling out a streamlined approach for onboarding creatives!

This means clearer, more effective communications flowing your way—get ready!

Operational Optimisations

In the tech department, we've containerised the git — thanks Josh, you legend!

We're ramping up testing and soon will have the capacity for scaling up our dev team to achieve great things. When we can bring in the full brilliance of the tech-savvy Aussies who support a UBI, clear the backlog and look forward, it will be such a thrilling time for growth and innovation. So exciting!

Political Power Moves

Owen, Vincent, and Josh went full throttle at in-person events.

Melbourne feedback: We need marketing turbochargers and venue GPS. Let’s guide those lost souls to our meetings!

Basic Income Australia swag alert! Stickers and buttons are hot off the press. Grab yours at events.

Tas Greens, brace yourselves—we’re sliding into your DMs for a UBI chat.

Left-leaning unions, we’re dialing up the outreach. Research mode: ON. Let’s sync UBI & BIA vibes.

Daniel’s Epic Trek

Canberra, May 13. Parliament House. YOU B I Walk

We did it! We joined Daniel for a few hours as he completed laps around Parliament House for an intense 24 hours. His determination shone as brightly as ever—believe it or not, he’s not dead yet! Show Daniel some love for his incredible effort. Let's continue to support his unwavering commitment to the cause.


There you have it—our turbocharged April-May scoop! Share the buzz, spread the love, and keep those UBI flames burning.
