Hi, I've restored this page. It had a whole history, with COTW tags and everything. I'm not sure why it was deleted. - Ta bu shi da yu 10:25, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Should the No GST Party be mentioned here (and should that article be linked to this)? Dave.Dunford 29 June 2005 10:05 (UTC)
The history section is clearly incomplete. It ends with the 1998 election and establishes the Liberal-National coalition had a reduced majority of seats but doesn't explain how Australia moved from there to the GST in 2000. Looking back into the history of the article, it looks as if someone planned to update it but never got around to it

"While the Democrats had opposed the GST during the 1998 election campaign" - while this is certainly the popular view, it is incorrect as far as I can tell. This quote from the ABC archive at http://www.abc.net.au/election98/news/diary/week03.htm is one of several very similar statements I found:
"Democrats leader Meg Lees announced yesterday the Democrats would block a GST in the Senate unless food was exempted from the tax and other concessions were negotiated. The other concessions included taking a GST off books and tourism packages sold offshore, tightening tax loopholes, and restructuring tax cuts to reduce benefits for high-income earners."
Also, my recollection is that Senator Stott Despoja did not cross the floor over the GST per se, but because books were not exempt. Not sure about Senator Bartlett.
In political reality probably it doesn't matter, because Democrats voters felt betrayed. But the statement that the Democrats opposed the GST doesn't seem correct. If there's no opposition, I'll rewrite that section in a few days. Rocksong 05:54, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Too much of a focus on politics in this article. I'd suggest inclusion of:
- role of the ATO in administering the tax;
- discussion of BAS statements; and,
- the Australian Business Number system.

Surprising that there is no mention in the article to the current most controversial aspects of the GST, that it is distributed unevenly, where some states receive significantly more per capita than others. This was certainly not mentioned in political campaigning prior to the 1998 election, and it would be interesting to know the background to PM Howard doing it this way and deciding on the formulae.
