Shorten pledges a GST ‘unity ticket’
August 29, 2018. Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has promised Western Australia a legislated floor in GST payments, saying Labor is on a "unity ticket" with the Coalition to deliver a fairer carve-up. Mr Shorten, who is campaigning in Perth on Wednesday, has committed Labor to enshrining a 70 cent floor from 2019-20, lifting it to 75 cents in 2024-25. "The GST fight needs to end. No more argy bargy between Liberal and Labor nationally," he told reporters at a press conference at Carlisle TAFE. (AAP VIDEO/Rebecca Le May)
