I was very anti-GST when it was implemented. I honestly didn't think it would stay at 10% for more than a year or so. I looked at the UK VAT, and assumed it would happen to us like that, as well.

I am very happy to have been proved wrong on that one.

We often hear about the suggestion to broaden the GST, but honestly I think that would be the worst thing we could do. I'd sooner see the rate of the GST increased while narrowing the range of products on which it applies, than support any suggestion to broaden it.
