"Barnett threatens to withhold funding over GST"
By Jade Macmillan
The West Australian Premier has threatened to withhold campaign funding from the federal Liberal Party if it does not commit to reforming the GST.
Colin Barnett has long complained about WA's share of the GST carve up and argued it should be distributed on a per-capita basis.
He has taken a fresh swipe at the Federal Government's handling of the issue and also sent a message to the Opposition Leader, Tony Abbott.
"That will be a critical issue in the federal campaign," he said.
"Last federal election there was massive funding from Western Australia towards the national Liberal campaign.
"That will be reliant on a commitment on GST."
Mr Barnett says the financial support is at risk.
"I'm just making an observation," he said.
"The support that the federal Liberal Party got from Western Australia will depend on the GST issue.
"Not only support from within the Liberal Party but support from the corporate sector."
