Sorry, but “Robin Hood” style policies is historical revisionism.
This is literally how the western world used to work. The rich were justly taxed and paid for everything we all had.
It is the policies of Thatcher and Reagan that messed that up.
Snowballs chance in hell of succeeding, but thats a great idea.
It’s a start. 100% tax above $1bn is my preference.
Its only a start if it passes, but conceptually, right there with you.
They need more votes though, they only get about 15%.
Most Australins are keen to help our billionares becase they struggle so much /s
