WA’s GST Privilege Under Fire | Perth News
Description
New South Wales Treasurer Daniel Mookhey is firing back at Western Australia’s GST loophole, calling it unfair for a booming economy to dodge the national equalization system—while other states like NSW and Queensland shoulder the burden. He argues WA’s windfall keeps flowing to its coffers while others share revenue, even as WA seeks to poach major events like the NRL grand final, sparking comparisons to Middle Eastern oil-rich nations. Despite the Productivity Commission’s $6 billion annual cost estimate and calls to revert to fairness, the federal government says no changes are coming under the current PM.
