you were bemoaning the lack of "good pilot programs"... and I gave you a 'good as it gets' example with the Liberal Party introduced Child Care Benefit (CCB).

Yes, it has some merit as a particular focus.
Where's the evidence for what it accomplishes for families with children?

there will never be a deployment of universal, let alone a representative pilot.

Why not?

What there can be, per CCB, are selective... targeted... policies impacting upon segments of the populace.

Again, some merit, but it does not address the need for fallback income for everyone experiencing financial need temporarily and the huge cost of 'gatekeeping' for temporary financial
support.

by the by, your conceptual zeal for UBI seems a tad lacking in the reality of how to actually pay for it - yes?

Proper assessment of basic income programs is lacking, including info about long term savings in other public services, and improved health, education and employment outcomes.
