Prime Minister Scott Morrison has indicated a GST fix for Western Australia is well on its way, saying he expects bipartisan support when it comes to legislating for a fairer share for the state.


Speaking to Perth reporters on Monday flanked by federal Minister for Finance and WA MP Mathias Cormann, Attorney General Christian Porter and MP Michaelia Cash, Mr Morrison again backed his proposed three-step GST reform.

The reform could see Western Australia $4.7 billion better off over the course of eight years if signed off on in parliament.


“It’s great to see the WA economy starting to bounce back, it’s great to see the optimism, and it’s great to see the spirit that is here,” he said.


“It’s that … great entrepreneurial spirit, which is the reason why I’ve always believed very strongly that WA needs to have its fair share of GST.
