EconomyProductivity Commission says WA premier crossed line by calling it ‘east coast clowns’ over GST

The Productivity Commission says Western Australian Premier Roger Cook crossed a line by calling its members “east coast clowns” and describing its review of the state’s GST deal as deceitful. Commissioner Angela Jackson said criticism was welcome but attacks on the body’s integrity were unacceptable. The commission will continue consultations before issuing a final report by year’s end.
