Quality work. Steven Marshall was seen at The Fringe last night singing along to Kylie Minogue songs, I'm guessing 'I should be so lucky' will be his walk on song if he gets up Saturday night.

In market watch Tarzia has come in to $1.67 from $7 and outright favourtism in Hartley to knock off X.

Given a Tiser poll for Hartley is dropping at noon I suspect someone might have gotten a heads up and dropped some $$ on it.

Given that movement Xenophon to pick up no seats at $12 suddenly looks tasty

Those Libs showing why they've been in opposition so long....they keep their best until the last week. :lol:

Rob Lucas claims Weatherill will "increase the GST if he gets re-elected". Lucas doesn't understand or......?

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-03-13/s ... an/9543770

With the South Australian election just days away, the Liberal Party is rolling out a campaign claiming Labor "has a secret plan" to increase the GST to 15 per cent.

Opposition spokesperson Rob Lucas denied the campaign was a scare tactic, pointing to a push from Premier Jay Weatherill in 2015 to increase the tax to cover rising health costs.

Mr Weatherill's push failed, because any change to GST arrangements need the consent of federal and state governments.

Mr Lucas said Labor would have to find more revenue, to pay for its more than $2 billion worth of election promises.

"If he's re-elected, he's going to have to fund these billion-dollar promises in some way," he said.

"He's introduced or tried to introduce a number of taxes already."

He pointed to other attempts from Labor to either increase or add new taxes such as the failed bank tax, and the increase in the emergency services levy.

"It's in their DNA. That's what they do.

Labor denied a GST hike is in its plan, and in a statement said the Liberals' claim was, "a desperate smear from the man who privatised ETSA".

While the Liberal Party is still far from matching Labor's spending promises, it has committed $16 million to outreach palliative care services.

Liberal leader Steven Marshall said the funding would expand the services to run 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

"This is an absolutely vital upgrade to the current outreach services which are currently available just nine to five, Monday to Friday," Mr Marshall said.

"This isn't providing families with any comfort whatsoever, any support whatsoever after hours or on weekends."

The Liberal's palliative care policy also includes a state-wide audit to find areas of unmet need.

Seems to have the same understanding of vertical fiscal imbalance re GST as Weatherill then?

Jay seems to believe he has some kind of control over the GST?

A re-elected Labor Government will fight for the federal government to remove the Goods and Services Tax (GST) from tampons and other female sanitary items.

Currently, women and girls pay an extra 10 per cent on the cost of these products, despite them being a necessity.

Meanwhile, condoms, personal lubricants, sunscreen and nicotine chewing gum are exempt from the GST.

“I think it is grossly unfair that millions of women and girls across the nation are made to pay 10 per cent extra for essential female items, like tampons,” Premier Jay Weatherill said.

“They are not luxury items – they are necessities.”

Support for the removal of GST on female sanitary products has been growing in recent years.

The Stop Taxing My Period movement has collected more than 100,000 signatures and held rallies across the country.

The Essentials 4 Women SA organisation, which provides free sanitary items to disadvantaged women, has also consistently campaigned for its removal.

Federal Parliamentary Budget Office analysis undertaken in 2015, indicated removing the GST on sanitary products would cost about $35 to $40 million per year, nationally.

Labor’s commitment comes in the lead up to International Women’s Day this Thursday.

"Labor will fight the federal government to remove the GST from female sanitary products", this suggests Labor know the GST is a federal tax and it can't be done at state level.

Lucas suggesting Labor will look to increase the GST to 15% suggests they don't understand it's a federal tax and Weatherill can't do it at state level.

I see how you think it's the same thing. :lol:

Booney, are you being facetious or not?

Weatherill did float the idea of a 15% GST this term.

The only quote Lucas has in the article re GST is Weatherill would attempt to raise the GST in the same manner he did two years ago.

The difference between the substance of those Lucas/Weatherill articles is microscopic

I am, yes.

Then NSW Premier Mike Baird ( Lib ) floated the idea of increasing the GST to 15% and Weatherill backed it, with conditions. It wasn't Weatherill who siad he would do it, he can't and I think Lucas should be informed of that.

Qld premier Palaszczuk ( ALP ) and Victorian Andrews ( ALP ) at the time did not.

Weatherill made comments that it wasn't often a conservative premier wanted to raise taxes across the board and not just lower them for his mates at the top end of town.
