FFS leave GST alone Chippy

Indeed. Especially seeing the vast majority of tax payers pay a much larger percentage of their income in tax than those very few wealthy at the top of the pile. The ones who also happen to own most of the assets. Along with a great deal of power.

Bring on the wealth tax.

That's specifically why I said "income tax". There is nothing fair about the proposed wealth taxes. The report that supposedly showed the richest not paying enough tax was looking at capital assets, not incomes. The richest people already pay the highest proportion of their higher incomes. The taxing of unrealised capital can never be fair.

One of the things I like about the Greens is they do their homework. The reality is the wealthiest do not pay anywhere near the same income tax that you and I pay. That's backed up by the recent treasury reports, plural, all of which say the same thing.  And that is a huge problem.
