Hanson U-Turns on WA GST Deal | Sydney News

from Sydney News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Pauline Hanson flips her stance on WA’s GST deal, now backing the state’s funding after previously calling it unfair — a shift likely influenced by her growing alliance with mining giant Gina Rinehart, who’s openly supporting One Nation. While Hanson once argued Queensland was being shortchanged due to unaccounted offshore gas royalties, she now blames other states for poor resource management. The Productivity Commission called the deal a “costly mistake,” but WA Premier Roger Cook and the Prime Minister stand firm, with the agreement set to extend until 2029 and a final review due by year’s end.
