A war of words has broken out between politicians from New South Wales (NSW) and Victoria over the federal distribution of the Goods and Services Tax (GST). NSW Premier Chris Minns called Victoria a 'welfare state,' prompting a response from Tim Pallas, who labeled NSW an 'infrastructure welfare recipient.' Independent MP Kylea Tink raised concerns about integrity and transparency in government amid the GST dispute. NSW Liberal Party President Jason Falinski criticized the current GST distribution as 'absurd policy' that benefits the richest state in Australia.
