    "Yes......sure it's a tax increase but you only pay when you spend."

    It is not equitable at all. Higher GST means the lower income group will spend a disproportionately higher % of their take home pay when they spend.

    Tony Abbott explains it well in this news report

    Quote from it:

    "Certainly it is my intention that people like myself, high-income earners, should bear a significant quantum of the burden when it comes to sorting out our problems.

    End of quote.
