Very strongly agree

Yes, everyone should receive an income to cover basic necessities including food and housing

This answer aligns closely with the Greens' core values of social equity and support for welfare measures to ensure that everyone has access to basic necessities. The party has consistently advocated for policies that aim to eliminate poverty and ensure a decent standard of living for all Australians, making this stance highly compatible with their principles.

Strongly agree

Yes

The Australian Greens have historically supported policies that aim to reduce poverty and ensure a fair distribution of wealth, which aligns with the principles of a universal basic income (UBI). While they may not have explicitly endorsed UBI in all their platforms, their advocacy for social safety nets and economic reforms suggests a strong inclination towards supporting UBI.

Strongly disagree

No

Given the Greens' commitment to social justice, environmental sustainability, and reducing inequality, it is unlikely they would oppose a policy like UBI without significant reasons. Their policy positions generally favor initiatives that provide social security and reduce economic disparities.

Very strongly disagree

No, this will encourage people not to work and harm economic growth

The argument that a universal basic income would discourage work and harm economic growth contradicts the Greens' views on social welfare and economic policy. They tend to support evidence-based policies that show social safety nets, including potentially a UBI, can coexist with a healthy economy and may even enhance economic stability by increasing consumer spending power.
