GST — COMMONWEALTH GOVERNMENT AGREEMENT
430. Hon JAMES HAYWARD to the Leader of the House
representing the Premier:
I refer to the GST deal with the
commonwealth government.
(1) Has the
Premier received a public guarantee from the federal Labor Party that the GST
deal will not change if Labor wins the federal election this weekend?
(2) Can the
Premier confirm the federal Liberal Party has publicly guaranteed the GST deal
will not change?
(3) Will the
Premier seek a guarantee from the federal Labor Party that it will not change
the GST deal after the election, should it be elected?
(4) If no to (3),
why not?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
(1) Yes.
(2) The member should refer this
question to the federal Liberal Party.
(3) See (1).
(4) Not applicable.
