No you're the one that misunderstands the GST allocation. Each states share ebbs and flows on the basis of internal economic activity.
In WA, NT and Queensland that revolves mainly around mining. In the eastern states it revolves around property.
Surely you're not going to suggest the eastern states share of GST should increase despite a massive increase in property related revenues.
As for saying mining should increase in the eastern states, that's like saying falling property values in WA means they are not trying hard enough and should be penalised with a drop in GST revenue.
