Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says a push to increase the GST will only proceed if it can be demonstrated to have positive economic effects, such as creating jobs and lifting productivity. Meanwhile, a growing number of Federal Government MPs and senators have reservations about increasing the GST. Liberal Senator Cory Bernardi has vowed to vote against the Government on any bill to increase the tax, while MP Russell Broadbent says the Government has not presented a compelling case for a tax increase.
