Trying to buy the Vote of WA with nothing more than innuendo.

I get sick of pointing out Turnbulls complete inability to find substance. Take the distribution of the GST.

West Australian Premier Colin Barnett has called on the federal government to pick a figure for the proposed GST "floor", saying he would agree to 70 cents in the dollar as the prime minister has indicated.

Malcolm Turnbull told the Liberal state conference in August a floor would be set below which no state or territory's share of the tax could fall, responding to WA's complaints its slice had fallen to a record low of 30 cents.

Mr Turnbull was immediately pressed on the issue when speaking with reporters in Perth on Monday - his first visit west in six months - and only repeated consensus needed to be reached between all jurisdictions.

A floor would be set once WA's share recovered, he added.

Mr Barnett would not be drawn on whether he was disappointed by the vague commitment, but said he took some comfort that the prime minister referred to 70 cents.

"He didn't say that was the floor but he nominated it as a potential figure," the premier said on Tuesday.

I know the ALP got away with making unfunded promises in policy on the run. The announce it and they will come attitude I do not believe has merit now as consistent promises without any basis become serious discussion issues which become policy.

Clearly, this federal clown has thrown the WA state government to the wolves to test the water for his fabricate a policy in the assumption all will believe him.
