It would be remiss of us not also to mention what seems to be the only party in this #election with a #NetNeutrality and #UniversalBasicIncome policy.

They are the #FusionParty.

Their website is CloudFlare but an archived link to the #UBI policy is here:

Fair + Inclusive Society

The health, wellbeing, and productivity of Australia as a whole is dependent on the quality of the lives of people in society. By investing in people - education, health, housing, and their security - the long-term prosperity of the country will be ensured. Social costs are often hidden, but solving problems of this type has broad positive consequences across the economy. By structuring policy and broader incentives, our government will reshape the justice, fairness, and sustainability outcomes of citizens, removing structural inequities to achieve better outcomes for all, and for Australia itself.
