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.

The two things are not directly linked.

Hi Scitty

Do you know the answer to my two questions:

1) Just where is WA getting GST income from?
2) How can the Federal Government possibly know the net GST of each state.

If you know the answer to those questions, I would appreciate it.
