The main point he’s always hammered on is wealth inequality caused by asset accumulation to the wealthy, squeezing ordinary people out. Practically speaking, the main asset pertains to housing. Even if a wealth tax worked (which I strongly doubt) the Greens will drive up house prices by bringing millions more people in. The benefits bill will balloon. (Already exceeds total income tax). They have no growth strategy. Rather they are in favour of steady state or de-growth. It beggars belief that people think they’ll be better off with them.
