澳大利亚生产力委员会发布的中期报告指出，2018年实施的GST分配立法是一个代价高昂的错误，致使额外230亿澳元纳税人资金流向全国最富裕的西澳大利亚州 1。对此，西澳州长罗杰·库克（Roger Cook）将生产力委员会抨击为“东海岸小丑” 1。生产力委员会专员安吉拉·杰克逊（Angela Jackson）表示，州长的此类言论“越界”且“不可接受” 1。
澳大利亚总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯（Anthony Albanese）明确表示：“我认为，非常明确的是，在我担任总理期间，西澳的GST安排不会有任何改变。” 1 工业和科学部长蒂姆·艾尔斯（Tim Ayres）为阿尔巴尼斯在最终报告出台前排除任何GST变动的决定进行了辩护 1。生产力委员会的最终报告预计将于今年年底发布，委员会强调该最终报告不会受到政治影响 1。
The Australian Productivity Commission has condemned attacks on its integrity after Western Australian Premier Roger Cook labelled the organization "east coast clowns," with commissioner Angela Jackson declaring that the premier's comments "crossed a line" and were "unacceptable" 1. The commission's interim report found that the 2018 Goods and Services Tax (GST) distribution legislation was a costly error that funnelled an extra $23 billion in taxpayer money to the nation's richest state 1.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stated, "What I believe is, very clearly, there will be no change to WA GST arrangements whilst I’m prime minister" 1. Industry and Science Minister Tim Ayres defended Albanese ruling out any GST changes before the final report 1. The Productivity Commission noted that its final report is due by the end of this year and will not be affected by political influence 1.
