Western Australian Premier Mark McGowan will use the upcoming Council of Australian Governments meeting to put forward a new proposal for the distribution of goods and services tax revenue. He wants state gambling taxes to be included in GST revenue, which would benefit WA as it does not permit pubs and clubs to operate poker machines. He will also press for 25 per cent of WA’s iron ore royalties to be exempt from being redistributed to other states via the GST system.
