My question is to the Minister for Finance and Administration, Senator Minchin, and it goes to the core of our economic wellbeing and an effective and fair tax system. Minister, will you inform the Senate of the benefits to Australia’s state and territory governments from the GST? Are you aware of any proposals to increase the rate of the GST in order to provide additional revenue to those governments? Will you inform the Senate what circumstances would be required in order for the GST to be increased?
