00:02An enraged Premier standing up for Western Australia.
00:06It's a sign that these East Coast clowns simply do not understand Western Australia.
00:13Lashing out at the Productivity Commission, which found the current GST distribution model
00:17has cost the Federal Budget an additional $23 billion over six years, 22 of which flowed to WA.

01:24The PM facing pressure not to break another promise.
01:28You will get your fair share because your work and what you contribute to the national economy really counts.
01:37The Prime Minister will want to tread carefully on GST.
01:42WA has become a stronghold for Labor and it's made clear it won't accept any changes to the current deal.
01:50A hotly contested state by-election in WA is also two weeks away, keenly contested by One Nation.
