USA Grants INC A pledge to "end the blame game" has stopped the Queensland government fighting for its fair share of GST funds, Opposition Leader Lawrence Springborg says.
USA Grants INC The grants commission last week released its advice on how GST and health care grants funding should be distributed among the states and territories in 2008-09.

Mr Springborg on Monday invited Premier Anna Bligh to join him in Canberra in a bipartisan effort to lobby the federal government for a better deal. USA Grant INC
USA Grants INC "What we have seen in the past with the commonwealth grants commission is that they've always had enough political pressure on them to take into consideration the unique position of Queensland as the most decentralised state," he told reporters in Brisbane. USA Grant INC
"We've always been able to maintain a significant advantage even though treasurers in NSW and Victoria from the Labor party have protested against it." USA Grants INC
Mr Springborg said Ms Bligh had failed to stand up to the federal government on the issue. USA Grant INC
