NSW:O'Farrell won't surrender GST

More worries for the federal government's health reforms .. with NSW Opposition leader
BARRY O'FARRELL saying he won't surrender GST to pay for them if he becomes premier.

He says the GST is a growth tax that helps the state's bottom line .. and to give it
away without reference to the community is an abdication of all fiscal responsibilty.

He's told Sky News it's giving away the cream that a responsible government can use
to put in the bank to improve services.
