Petition is addressed to: Parliament of Australia

We request the Federal Government fund a trial of Community Based Income (a liveable wage paid in return for education, training, caring duties, and/or assisting with a community project) in North-West Tasmania.

Reason

Getting funding for this trial is important for four reasons: the problem of unemployment and under-employment (including the problem of automation taking jobs), financial insecurity (including the rising costs of living), a welfare system that needs to be reformed to be more effective in helping those with barriers to employment, and there is a massive amount of community projects currently not being done for which the CBI could be utilised, enhancing participation and prosperity; empowering individuals, reducing financial distress and injecting life into a wide range of community projects which would improve lives and build capacity. We aim to build mental wealth, where building individual skills can help the broader community, reduce crime rates, decrease health costs, improve educational levels and so on.

Thank you for your support, Live Well Tasmania , Wynyard

Why people sign

This is a time when people are struggling and this is a good community initiative to help people cope.

Family + friends experiencing this as well as it aligning with my ethics/morals

Because the government sucks and they need to stop making stupid decisions that don't impact them but impact hundreds if not thousands of people
