‘Green Death’ tax from a Labor-Greens minority government?

The Greens want to introduce an abhorrent death tax renamed a 'dynastic tax'

The Greens don’t want you to succeed. They want to take your money so they can turn Australia into a socialist nightmare. Labor’s plans aren’t far behind them. It’s a case of the Mensheviks (who wanted to use legal trade union means to socialism) versus the Bolsheviks (who wanted to overthrow the state).

But as Adam Bandt has indicated, he looks forward to a ‘golden era of reform’ in minority government where the Greens’ stated policy priority will be to take ‘action on negative gearing and [the] capital gains tax discount’.

Can we be sure Labor will reject the Greens’ plans?

Writing in the Unfiltered newsletter, Alexandra Marshall had this to say:

Michael de Percy is worried that the Greens will bring back death taxes. They’ve renamed the policy, of course, referring to it as ‘the implementation of tax on dynastic wealth’ – but it sounds like grave robbing to me.
