2008-09 Budget 54 Intergovernmental Financial Issues Source: Commonwealth Grants Commission 2008 Update Each year, the Commission updates its relativities for the latest available financial, economic and demographic data. In February 2008, the Commission released its Report on State Revenue Sharing Relativities 2008 Update. The 2008 Update report details states relativities that will be used to distribute the GST pool in 2008-09. Table 5.3 compares the changes in relativities between the 2007 and 2008 Updates. In the 2008 Update, the Commission recommended an increase in relativities for New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory. Queensland, Western Australia and Tasmania experienced a decrease in their relativities between updates. Notable developments in the 2008 Update are: Western Australia replaced New South Wales as the state with the strongest fiscal capacity; and Queensland joined New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia in requiring less than its per capita share of the GST pool.
