GST Increase on the way????

I attended a talk last week where the speaker suggested some increases to the GST rate to remove a range of state taxes that are an impediment to productivity. I also read one commentator today suggest that one way to fund the Education reforms from the Gonski report would be to increase the GST.

That is twice in one week.

A quick search on the internet and I found a lot of articles espousing this as a way to fix a whole range of funding issues.

I also note that the average current unweighted avereage GST in the OECD countries is up around 21%.

I think I can see what is coming!!!
