Someone posted this on a website:

Death duties on people that have paid tax all their lives already, the definition of cruel and unusual punishment.

Not saying I agree with the proposal but what I highlighted is wrong. It's not taxes on the dead people, it's taxes on the people that inherit who are alive and well. The dead guy cannot be punished in any way shape or form, he's dead, extinct, and ex-person.

True - but still he has a point.
Tax was already paid on earnings to buy that house.
Why should it be taxed again?
It could mean that the family home will need to be sold to pay the tax.

It already is "taxed again": council rates, land tax, stamp duty, GST...

Then it's even worse.

Please provide a link to an actual proposal where this would apply.

The fact is -

you can't trust the main parties.

None of them wanted to include other questions e.g.
around immigration numbers etc along
with that poofter referendum they had.
They could have had questions tacked on to the election voting forms in a few months -
but they didn't.
When will everyone understand that the main parties don't care what we want?
They do their own thing and bugger us.

Your arguments do not support the contention that Labor want death taxes when Labor have been clearly and vocally against death taxes for over 50 years.

Yes the main parties don't care what we want. It does not follow that they support death Taxes and if it does why point to Labor and not the Liberals who do love a good tax or three.

Of course Labor wants a death tax.
The opening post proves it.
Labor won't mention it during the election campaign -
it will happen after they win.

The Libbos probably want one too.
I don't trust any of those slimy crooks in parliament -
they are all much worse then used car dealers.

The opening post proves nothing of the sort. Where does it specifically say that the Australian Labor Party will propose this? Nowhere. You've conflated the ACTU with the ALP and this is incorrect.

Again, the opening post does not state this.

Your arguments are fallacious. You're doing a lot of jumping to conclusions, based on nothing but a photo from "a website". Not even a link to the original article. Unsupported conclusions based on weak evidence is not at all credible.
