The Commonwealth Productivity Commission’s interim report into the GST distribution system is historic.
The Commission has rightly concluded that the Morrison Government’s 2018 changes have been an expensive failure. Leading to some Australians having an automatic entitlement to either better services or lower taxes, or in some cases both, than nearly every other Australian.
The Minns Labor Government’s position is simple.
An Australian living in Cabramatta in Sydney, Carlton in Victoria, Coober Pedy in South Australia or Cairns in Queensland is worthy of the same supports from their governments as an Australian living in Cottesloe in Western Australia.
We look forward to the Commission finalising its report.
And I look forward to attending next month’s public hearings to continue advocating for a system that makes for a stronger Australia and NSW.
