Former prime minister Scott Morrison announces he will retire from politics at the end of February, ending a 16-year career in federal parliament, including four served as prime minister.
I was very anti-GST when it was implemented. I honestly didn’t think it would stay at 10% for more than a year or so. I looked at the UK VAT, and assumed it would happen to us like that, as well.

We often hear about the suggestion to broaden the GST, but honestly I think that would be the worst thing we could do. I’d sooner see the rate of the GST increased while narrowing the range of products on which it applies, than support any suggestion to broaden it.
