NSW: Iemma says commonwealth should turn GST into state tax

New South Wales Premier MORRIS IEMMA says the federal government should turn the GST
into a state tax.

He says each state government should get all of the GST revenue raised within its borders.

New South Wales wants to get back more of the three billion dollars of GST revenue
which is raised there .. but then transferred to other states.

Mr IEMMA says the GST should be a state tax in reality .. not just in PETER COSTELLO's
imagination.
