If re-elected, will the Coalition make any changes to the Goods & Services Tax?

Who knows!

Remember he said nothing about Workchoices!

Remember he said he would keep interes rates at record lows!

Remember he said the GST would never be a part of his government in the first place!

The guy is a dead set liar!

Wouldn't surprise me. He is the most decietful politician this country has ever seen!

You would like to think they would change it, has the outstanding debt for the Gst is around about 10.5 billion at present so business is loving it!!!!

Another shambles from the failed treasurer of yesteryear...

The advertisements on the interest rates of labor are one of the best spins out there very funny too! “Under the Whitlam Cairns government interest rates where 10%… Under the Hawke Keating Government interest rates where 17% and under the Keating government interest rates where 12%…” See the funny bit there? Here I will show you.

Between the Whitlam Cairns government and the Hawke Keating government we forgot to put in the Fraser HOWARD government where the interest where 22% sort of fills in the graphs highs and lows more accurately. When you draw the graph it is funny.

So when we where sent into the deepest recession this country has ever known to this day after the “EGOnomics” of John Howard it was not the time to be anti-business. Then it did take some really good economic management and vision to get Australia out of it, things like floating the dollar, overhauling tariffs, liberalizing the financial systems, managing industrial relations through the accord and ENTERPRISE BARGAINING- massive changes that transformed our economy. Those are the things that you fail to get with the changes that were put in place, the transformation from the old system where the treasurer can have a great affect on the economy to where his only reasonability is not to blow the budget. Sort of idiot proof, so John Howard could even do it again.

Yes it is true to say “The boom has done more for John Howard than John Howard has done for the boom”

Sigh! Here's the response I gave to a similar question a while back. "The ONLY way that GST can be increased is if ALL states in BOTH Lower and Upper Houses and the Federal Goverment in both Lower and Upper Houses approve a change. Can't imagine the states ( all of which are Labor ) voting for an increase in GST. Also, you may not know that EVERY CENT of GST raised goes to the states. Check with your local member if you like." People, please look at legislation and understand it before you answer. Thank you.

They would have to alter legislation to do it at the moment they need all States to agree on a rise.

ezc 692; You are right all money is returned to the States. But in N.S.Ws, case $600,000,000 of their G.S.T go's to QLD and the N.T. Give them their money Howard.

highly unlikely

but if labor get in, that is another question, I would think there would be a very good chance that the labor govt would increase the GST

Steve b you really need to be more consistent, first your stating mortgage rates then you conveniently switch to 90 day money rates two different things.

Is this more labor lies?

just like workchoices they will make it harsher
