Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has told the state conference of the Liberal Party of Western Australia that the system for distributing GST revenue will be revamped. Some 70 per cent of WA’s share of GST revenue is allocated to other states, but Premier Colin Barnett argues that each state should receive at least 75 per cent of their per capita share of revenue. Turnbull has proposed changing the system to ensure that each state receives a minimum share of their largest source of GST revenue. Tasmanian Premier Will Hodgman says Turnbull has not consulted the states and territories, adding that he will oppose any change to the system.
