Hey guys,
I was just reading up on the different policies offered by different parties in Australia and one of the policies that the greens are offering is:
The Universal Wellbeing Payment will be enough to comfortably cover your basic needs. It will give you enough to put a roof over your head, to have a nutritious diet, to keep yourself warm in winter and cool in summer, and to get to and from the places you need to go.
The UWP will always be above the poverty line. Based on the cost of living as at March 2022, the Universal Wellbeing Payment will start at $615 per week for every person aged 16 and over.

This payment is made to you if you are working or not, the tax is only going to be taken from the richest end of town.
This is the top 10 rich list for Australia:
- Gina Rinehart; US$30.2 billion.
- Andrew Forrest & Family; $21.5 billion.
- Harry Triguboff; $16.2 billion.
- Mike Cannon-Brookes; $13.7 billion.
- Scott Farquhar; $13.5 billion.
- Anthony Pratt; $10.3 billion.
- Cliff Obrecht and Melanie Perkins, $8.8 billion.
- Bianca Rinehart & Siblings, $8.5 billion.
A fun game is to divide your total wealth by theirs e.g. If you have $100,000 dollars in the bank than Gina Rinehart is 302,000 times richer than you lol.
