The majority of Australians (& increasing) across all income groups are increasingly concerned about the wealth gap between rich & poor & yet Australians are dead set a tax that would directly address that (death taxes).

Taxing income of rich people doesn't reduce their wealth it only reduces it's growth rate.
Death taxes would decrease rich people's wealth & enable lower taxes on the poor.
If you don't want to impact people with relatively modest assets start the tax at $2.5m or $5m or $20m?
Whatever is palatable.

If nothing is done the situation will only increase.
Personally I have nothing against the rich getting richer, good luck to them, however I am concerned about the most vulnerable in society.

please like a thief in the night tax the dead because they can't fight back. How convenient.

So a doctor with a death in a maternity ward has to sign a ATO document?
