My question is to the Minister for Finance representing the Treasurer. For years now the call for a fairer distribution of GST has gone unanswered. The Western Australian Treasurer has warned his federal Liberal colleagues to stop pussyfooting around, or both Liberal governments would be held accountable over repeated promises for reform. As one of the WA cabinet ministers in the Liberal federal government, which has been in power for some years now alongside a Liberal WA government, can the minister explain to his fellow Western Australians why the government has not already made a change to the method of sharing GST revenue among states to make the distribution fairer?
