Roger Cook oo 'clowns-ka xeebta bari' ku tilmaamay qaar ka soo horjeeda qaybinta GST

Warar ku saabsan warbixin ku saabsan dib-u-eegista GST oo uu Premier-ka WA u arkay weerar

Premier-ka Western Australia Roger Cook ayaa kuwa ka soo horjeeda qaybinta GST ugu yeeray 'east coast clowns' wuxuuna warbixintii Komishanka Wax-soo-saarka uu ku tilmaamay 'an attack on Western Australians'. WA ayaa ahayd gobolkii kaliya ee ka faa'iiday 2018-kii isbeddelada GST.

Faa'iidada WA iyo Warbixinta Ku-meel-gaarka ah

Sida ay qortay warbixintii ku-meel-gaarka ahayd ee Komishanka Wax-soo-saarka, Western Australia waxay ahayd gobolka kaliya ama dhulka kaliya ee ka faa'iiday isbeddelada GST ee 2018. Tan waxaa lagu ogaaday markii la eegyay dib-u-eegista nidaamka qaybinta.

Sannadka 2024-25, Western Australia waxay heshay dakhli GST oo ku filan 113 boqolkiiba baahideeda maaliyadeed ee la qiimeeyay, marka loo eego 98 boqolkiiba ee ay heleen dhammaan gobollada kale. Tani waxay muujinaysaa farqiga weyn ee u dhexeeya WA iyo kuwa kale.

Hadalka Premier-ka iyo Dooddiisa

Roger Cook wuxuu kuwa ka soo horjeeda qaybinta GST ugu yeeray 'east coast clowns'. Wuxuuna sheegay in warbixinta Komishanka ay tahay 'an attack on every hard working Western Australian' isla markaana ay caddeynayso in ay 'simply do not understand Western Australia, they have no Western Australian representative, and no idea'.

Premier-ka ayaa sidoo kale xusay in wax kasta oo lagu beddelo qaybinta GST ay si aan cadaalad ahayn u ciqaabayso WA guusheeda 'simply to prop up other lazy states'. Hadalkiisa ayaa muujinaya diidmo xooggan oo uu u hayo dhinacyada ka soo horjeeda.

Asalkii Dhaqdhaqaaqa iyo Saamaynta 2018

Kobaca macdanta WA wuxuu kordhiyay awoodda gobolku u leeyahay is-maalgelinta, taasoo keentay inuu helo GST yar. Sidoo kale, qaaciddada GST waxay keentay in WA ay khasaarto markii ay hoos u dhacday royaltiga macdanta ka dib qalalaasihii maaliyadeed ee caalamiga ahaa.

Komishanku wuxuu sheegay in cadaadis siyaasadeed oo ka yimid dawladda WA xilligaas uu qayb ahaan saameyn ku yeeshay dib-u-habeyntii 2018. Tani waxay iftiimaysaa xiriirka ka dhexeeya cadaadiska gobolka iyo isbeddelada nidaamka.

Western Australia's Premier Roger Cook has launched a fierce attack on a Productivity Commission report he says unfairly penalises the state, calling opponents 'east coast clowns' who lack understanding of WA's unique economic position.

Cook Rages at 'Lazy State' Narrative

Premier Roger Cook described the Productivity Commission's interim report as an 'attack on every hard working Western Australian', arguing that any changes to the GST distribution would unfairly punish WA for its success 'simply to prop up other lazy states'.

He told the ABC that the commission's critics 'simply do not understand Western Australia, they have no Western Australian representative, and no idea' about the state's fiscal reality.

WA Was the Only State to Benefit from 2018 Reforms

According to the Productivity Commission's interim report, Western Australia was the only state or territory to benefit from the 2018 changes to GST distribution, receiving enough revenue to meet 113 per cent of its assessed fiscal needs in 2024-25.

In contrast, all other states received just 98 per cent of their assessed needs, a disparity the commission attributed partly to political pressure from the WA government at the time that influenced the 2018 reforms.

Mining Boom and GST Formula Created Uneven Outcomes

WA's mining boom drove up the state's ability to fund itself, meaning it received less GST, while the GST formula also meant WA was caught short when mining royalties fell after the global financial crisis.

This produced a sentiment among many Western Australians that the state was 'losing' its revenue, according to the commission's interim report, which found the reforms were designed to help each jurisdiction provide services to the same standard.
