Senator LEYONHJELM (New South Wales) (14:44): The government has promised that the Western Australian government will receive at least 75c in the GST dollar. Why shouldn't it receive 100c in the dollar? Why should Western Australia continue funding beggar state governments in Tasmania and South Australia, which spend more time hugging trees and wind turbines— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator LEYONHJELM: Mr President, can I have a little more time to finish? The PRESIDENT: Order! I'm counting, Senator Leyonhjelm. Senator LEYONHJELM: Thank you. Why should WA continue funding beggar state governments in Tasmania and South Australia which spend more time hugging trees and wind turbines than developing their states? What benefit does WA— The PRESIDENT: Order, Senator Leyonhjelm! I have added quite a bit of time to your question given the interjections. I will call the minister to answer the question.
