Today\u2019s determination by the Federal Government\u2019s Commonwealth Grants Commission that NSW will receive just 82 cents for every dollar it contributes to the GST pool is a bitter blow to the state\u2019s future prosperity, and further proof that NSW is worse off under State and Federal Labor.\u00a0
\u00a0
The NSW Liberals and Nationals call on Chris Minns and Daniel Mookhey to stand up for NSW and demand that Anthony Albanese fix the GST distribution formula so that the people of NSW receive their fair share.\u00a0
\u00a0
NSW taxpayers pay more than any other State by any other measure, yet continue to be short changed.\u00a0
\u00a0
Under the current, lopsided arrangement, this inequity is only set to worsen for NSW, while Victoria remains a net winner for the second year in a row.\u00a0
\u00a0
Shadow Treasurer, Scott Farlow, said today\u2019s determination highlights how NSW is being left behind under Labor governments in Macquarie Street and Canberra.\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cUnder Chris Minns and Anthony Albanese, NSW has gotten the worst GST deal since the introduction of the GST,\u201d Mr Farlow said.\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cNSW taxpayers are already paying 30% more tax under the Minns Labor Government, and the NSW Liberals and Nationals are concerned that today\u2019s news will be another excuse for Labor to raise taxes.\u201d\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cAfter three years in office today, Chris Minns and Daniel Mookhey have sat on their hands when it comes to GST Distribution Reform.\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cThey have failed to even make a submission to the Productivity Commission\u2019s GST Distribution Reform inquiry to date, and today\u2019s determination demonstrates the devastating consequences of this inaction to the future prosperity of NSW.\u201d\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cWhile the Government has called for reform today, a move welcomed by the Opposition, it’s clear that Chris Minns has failed to stand up to Anthony Albanese for NSW to date.\u201d\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cUnder Chris Minns and Anthomy Albanese NSW taxpayers will keep paying more while getting less in return.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
