Julia Gillard made more dishonest statements in Hobart today about the GST.
The Coalition’s position on the distribution of the GST to the states is clear: we will not support or implement any proposal that disadvantages Tasmania.
In respect of GST allocations, neither Tasmania nor South Australia will be worse off under any future Coalition government.
Despite the Prime Minister’s falsehoods that she repeated today, the government still hasn’t announced its response to the Greiner-Brumby report.
Why is the government refusing to respond to its own review?
What is Julia Gillard’s secret plan for the GST?
Julia Gillard cannot be trusted on this or any other issue.
Whatever Julia Gillard says on the GST is as credible as her pre-election statement that “there will be no carbon tax under the government I lead”.
Tony Abbott, Leader of the Opposition
