Before I start, Mr President, I would like to congratulate you on your appointment. My question without notice is to Senator Cormann. Minister, the Productivity Commission released a draft report on the current GST distribution, showing that Western Australia is getting an unfair share. That report outlined a proposal that Western Australia could get up to $3.6 billion in extra GST funding per year. However, another submission from the Grants Commission has cast doubts over that PC report, suggesting that in fact the big states of Victoria and New South Wales would benefit more. Can the minister outline what submissions he and his WA Liberal Party colleagues have lodged to ensure that Western Australia no longer keeps getting ripped off?
