Marston begins his article by highlighting the lack of discussion about a basic income in Australia. While other countries have organizations for the basic income movement, Australia seems to be behind on mobilizing support. To help drum up support for basic income, Marston writes on the ability of basic income to help address issues with climate change and to progress toward a low-carbon future. It would provide a form of economic security, decrease dependence on industries that are key polluters, and facilitate a transition to a new economy.
