2026/08/14

Western Australia’s Premier Roger Cook is furious, calling east coast politicians “clowns” for a new Productivity Commission report that claims his state got the most from GST reforms — even though it now has more than it needs. Cook says the report unfairly targets WA, punishing its success to help less affluent states he calls “lazy.” The twist? WA’s mining boom once let it fund itself, reducing its GST share — but when royalties crashed post-GFC, the formula left it struggling. The report

2026/08/14

A new Productivity Commission report slams Australia’s GST revenue-sharing system as a costly, unfair mess — calling the 2018 reform a “mistake” that can turn disasters into windfalls for states like WA. The flawed setup costs taxpayers $12 billion annually and flips the original goal of equitable service provision on its head, even letting one state profit from another’s misfortune. Fix options include reverting to an older model with federal flexibility or compensating WA directly. Final
