Commenting on “Kevin Rudd unveils national health funding deal”
Soon, Brumby and other State Governments will use the argument of loss of 1/3 GST will lead to budget deficits, and have excuses to increase state taxes such as land tax, stamp duty, etc. as a form of compensation.
There is another thing to watch out. After health funding, the next will be school funding. Will the states be approached to give up more GST?
