Federal Treasurer Scott Morrison has given the Productivity Commission more time to complete its review of how the goods and services tax is distributed among the states. The PC had been due to complete its inquiry by 31 January, but has now been given until 15 May. The delay is expected to particularly upset Western Australia, which has long contended that it loses out under the current GST distribution model. Morrison says the PC’s interim report into the GST has clearly shown the current system is "broken" and needs to be fixed.
