The upcoming state and federal leaders’ summit will present an opportunity to pursue intergovernmental reform, according to Treasurer Joe Hockey. He will use a speech on 15 July 2015 to argue for changes to the GST and the transfer of full responsibility for schools and hospitals to the states. Hockey will also call for measures such as the abolition of inefficient state taxes and a reduction in the corporate tax and capital gains tax rates.
