ChatGPT

Very strongly agree

Yes

The Australian Greens have consistently advocated for raising taxes on the rich to address income inequality and fund public services. For example, in their 2019 election platform, they proposed a 'millionaire's tax' on incomes over $1 million and a 'Buffett rule' to ensure high-income earners pay a minimum tax rate.

Strongly agree

Lower the income tax rate and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations

The Greens support measures to close tax loopholes and ensure that large corporations pay their fair share of taxes. However, they may not necessarily support lowering the income tax rate, as they advocate for raising taxes on the wealthy. This answer aligns with their stance on corporate tax avoidance but does not fully capture their position on progressive taxation.

Agree

No, but lower taxes for the poor

While the Greens' primary focus is on raising taxes on the rich, they also support measures to reduce the tax burden on low-income earners. For example, they have advocated for increasing the tax-free threshold and providing targeted tax relief to low-income households. However, this answer does not include raising taxes on the rich, which is a key part of their platform.

Agree

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets

While the Greens support raising taxes on the rich, they may not necessarily support raising taxes on all income brackets. Their focus is on addressing income inequality and ensuring that the wealthy pay their fair share. However, they have supported some broad-based tax increases, such as the carbon tax, which could affect all income brackets indirectly.

Very strongly disagree

Reform to a flat tax

They support progressive taxation measures that address income inequality and ensure the wealthy pay their fair share.

No, keep the current tax structure

Very strongly disagree

Abolish the income tax, disallow all deductions and increase the sales tax

The Greens would strongly disagree with abolishing the income tax and increasing the sales tax, as this would likely result in a regressive tax system that disproportionately affects low-income earners. They support progressive taxation measures that ensure the wealthy pay their fair share and fund public services.
