Victorian Treasurer Tim Pallas has traded barbs with New South Wales (NSW) Premier Chris Minns over the latest GST (goods and services tax) revenue distribution.

This comes after Mr. Minns called Victoria a “welfare state” for receiving a much larger share of the GST revenue in the 2024-2025 financial year.
