My question is to the Minister for Finance. For many months now the call for a fairer distribution of GST has gone unanswered. The people of Western Australia are frustrated by the conflicting information and little assurance other than vague hints of future promises from government ministers. From various reports, it is justifiably suggested that the government is playing politics with Western Australia's genuine GST entitlements by holding back information in order to boost the appearance of a more accommodating budget in May. My question therefore is this: will the minister agree to release the government announcement on GST distribution before the end of this month, March 2015?
