and the GST goes to the states in a miscalculated way, that includes how many bus stops you have. not how many people per capita.

this is helping the mining states three fold.

while we have poor governments at all levels, NSW and Victoria will pay more they they receive,

we still have Bob Brown at the bottom of the garden to take the democrats place, i know which is worse, although i cannot state it here otherwise i might upset some moderator.

i dont think any amout would help either the states governments of NSW and Vic, maybe they could give costello a call.
