abstract: 'Australia''s remote-focused `workfare'' program (Community Development

  Program, CDP) has produced overwhelmingly negative impacts, most of

  which have been borne by its similar to 80\% Aboriginal and Torres

  Strait Islander participants. The Australian government has announced

  that CDP will end in 2023, though a replacement policy/program is not

  yet decided. Here, I bring three public proposals for replacement

  policies (wage subsidy, Job Guarantee, Liveable Income Guarantee) into

  conversation with one another, and compare these to the possibilities

  offered by a basic income. Drawing on documentary evidence, I discuss

  potential advantages and disadvantages of these alternatives, asking

  whether they might improve wellbeing and alleviate the harms experienced

  under CDP-style workfare.'
