There is no proposal to cut GST to South Australia and Tasmania, and Senator Wong knows it. This is just another Labor attempt to mislead the Australian people. There is a process underway and, ultimately, if the federal government were to adopt certain recommendations in the final report that is yet to be received, that would be subject to appropriate processes, including through the Council of Australian Governments and, ultimately, to the requirement of unanimous agreement amongst all state and territory governments. This is just further Labor Party scaremongering, because you haven't got anything better to talk about.
