The Australian federal government has promised to legislate changes to the GST system of up to $9 billion.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison describes this plan as a “a new, fairer GST deal” distributed throughout the nation.
The policy is heavily seen to influence Western Australia, with Morrison guaranteeing the state’s share does not fall below 75 cents in the dollar.
Treasurer Josh Frydenberg that it was ‘unstable’ for WA to be receiving 30 cents in the dollar.
This comes after August saw Opposition Leader Bill Shorten legislate within 100 days of a Labour election win, with Morrison planning it during the next parliament sitting.
