It is estimated that lifting the GST rate from 10 per cent to 15 per cent would increase annual revenue by about $A30bn. South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill and Australian Capital Territory Chief Minister Andrew Barr have indicated that they would consider the reform, with the latter saying his support would be conditional on the payment of sufficient compensation. Victoria and Queensland are the only Australian Labor Party-led state governments that remain firmly opposed to increasing the GST.
