The NY times had it right when they said name a tax and there’s a way to reduce it, delay it or not ever really pay it, if you have the right adviser. Think Joe Biden ran with a over tax the wealthy policy and it lasted about a day before it was benched and previous US Presidents including Trump of all people tried their luck as well in this area. Good luck to Adam Bandt but he wont be getting my vote based on what I read about their policies...
The Greens, like all other minor parties past, present and future, can promise whatever they like because they’ll never have the chance to implement their policies.
They will do whatever they can to get bums on seats in the Senate and maybe jag a seat or two in the House of Reps.
It’s a bit like the National Party’s policies that are quietly forgotten in coalition.
