Organisation Advocating Support Income Studies in Australia

Oasis-Australia has had a lone web-site voice promoting Basic Income Support in Australia. For many years, Allan McDonald has promoted Basic Income on his OASIS-Australia web-site (Organisation Advocating Support Income Studies in Australia). Allan intends to cut back the amount of time he spends campaigning, and thus decrease his involvement. He will pass his historical material, and any new material, across for inclusion on this new BIGA web-site to maintain continuity.

Click here to view Allan’s signing off in his The Final Newsletter of OASIS-Australia, the Organisation Advocating Support Income Studies in Australia.

Allan McDonald has issued a July 2005 Oasis Australian newsletter on IR changes which also looks at income

Newsletter July 2005

The implications of the proposed changes to industrial relations legislation
announced by the Australian Federal Government have prompted this revival of
the OASIS-Australia Newsletter. This response introduces two concepts which
I believe provide the basis for a new approach, and a new prespective to the
proposed changes. The present debate must continue. Is there a place for
the ideas put forward in this newsletter? I will appreciate your comments.
