    Further to my OP; the article below provides the first media report and comment about Malcolm Turnbull's revealing interview this morning on Insiders:

    "Malcolm Turnbull pours cold water on GST rise during ABC interview"
    "The prospect of a GST hike is looking more unlikely after Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said he was not convinced the measure would deliver enough economic gain, raising the chance that the scare campaign underpinning Labor's election platform will soon be disabled.
    Should Mr Turnbull rule out a GST rise it would head off a backbench revolt by government MPs who either oppose the notion of tax hikes, or fear an electoral backlash in their marginal seats. ..."
