When it comes to Western Australia and the GST-sharing arrangements it is a matter of public record that this government has actually stopped the drop in WA's share of GST at the 2014-15 level by making a $1 billion unilateral grant over two financial years to Western Australia towards infrastructure. That is more than the Labor Party ever did. I have not heard Bill Shorten suggest that he is going to take money away from Tasmania and South Australia to give it to Western Australia. Are you suggesting that Bill Shorten is going to do that?
