My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Cormann. The Liberal Treasurer of New South Wales has said about GST distribution that 'every Treasurer from every state and territory across the country today is united in our view that, if this legislation is to be passed, there needs to be an amendment to ensure that, in law, no state or territory will be worse off as a result of this change'. Will the Prime Minister listen to every Treasurer from every state and territory and then guarantee, in legislation, that no state or territory will be worse off under the new GST model?
