Prime Minister Scott Morrison will address Tasmania's Liberal Party faithful in Hobart today, but friction between state and federal Liberals over the GST is likely to be the elephant in the room.

• Tasmania is pushing for a "no worse off" guarantee to ensure it receives no less GST in the future
• Some modelling shows Tasmania could lose out if Western Australia returns to a mining boom 
• The Liberal Party will discuss a range of issues at its two-day conference in Hobart

Mr Morrison is in town for the annual Liberal State Council in Bellerive, where members will gather to discuss policy motions and hear from party leaders.

But just days ago Tasmanian Treasurer Peter Gutwein criticised Mr Morrison's planned legislation to change the GST distribution method, saying it needs amendment and that Tasmania could not and would not support it in its current form.

The Federal Government has said Tasmania would be $112 million better off under the changed distribution method, but Mr Gutwein has released Treasury modelling which shows that if Western Australia was to return to a mining boom — such as for lithium which has been suggested by economist Saul Eslake — Tasmania could end up losing $248 million by 2026-27.

Other scenarios modelled show a possible loss of $125 million based on a return to 10-year average relativities, or a gain of $90 million if relativities are stable. 

Mr Gutwein wants a legislated "no worse off" guarantee, to ensure no state or territory could receive less GST in future than what the current system would provide, and his position was supported by other state treasurers.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison says he agrees with the decision to project promotions for a $13 million horse race on the Sydney Opera House's sails this week.

The NSW Government's decision to beam the Everest trophy's barrier draw on the iconic Sydney landmark has received huge public backlash, with an online petition against the move accumulating over 40,000 signatures.

Mr Morrison defended Premier Gladys Berejiklian's acceptance of Racing NSW's submission, calling it a "no-brainer".

"This is one of the biggest events of the year," he said, speaking at a press conference in Blayney, in Central West NSW. 

"Why not put it on the biggest billboard Sydney has?

The Sydney Opera House isn't a billboard, dear ScoMo-shit. Yes, welcome to idiot-bogan-shitty Shire reaching to the Harbour shores, fatally. May god fill your churches full of adverts for beer, gambling, condoms and horse-shit. See: gambling aussie inc.

The Sydney Opera House was built to be the best opera house in the world, but got soon downgraded, after a fist fight, into a giant symphony pit where the cavernous acoustics had to be meddled with rings-a-dings. But this is beside the point. The SOH is NOT A BILLBOARD. That it is used from time to time to show off some artistic merit with VIVID expressionism is even borderline, but acceptable as long as the images remain somewhat abstract.

HORSE RACING is for stable poop and Alan Jones' mates. Yes we know, Mr Morrison, like a lot of philistines, idiots and dorks, you have no brains. It's a no-brainer stupid decision. 

Next you will have to advertise beer, Holden cars and the Melbourne cup — while on slack days, you can advertise your Happy-Clappy Church of Pentacostalotonia and the god's prayer with verses from the Q'ran and the local brothels for nearby Kings Cross. 

Amen.

Little ScoMo is behaving more and more like a dictator rather than a leader... More and more, he appears like a choleric person, in between a few attempts at appearing nice. Angry has become his second nature when facing criticism. He does not like to be caught out with his pants down. So he will blame anyone else but himself for having his butt naked. 

Scomo's vicious attacks on the opposition in parliament could appear like theatre to the untrained eye. To an old kook like Gus, they are the symptoms of someone loosing the plot after having found that someone moved the light switch of enlightenment. He believes in Noah's Ark — which is an old rabbi's tale about something that did not happen more than 4,000 years ago — but he does not believe in global warming which is something happening now. The mantra is, should you believe in Noah's Ark, the price of electricity will go down. 

It's devious of course, but only to those who study the whatever. Take Nauru for example. ScoMo will angrily blame Labor for the mess the refugees, especially the kids, are in this Hell on earth. And yet his government had five years to sort the issue out. Yes we know, but this crisis of conscience does not bother the ScoMo Christian coal-fired mobile, nor that other Christian, Turdy Abbott, who still thinks the torture of the refugees is self-inflicted, like martyrs throwing themselves into the lion-den. But it was our glorious liar-in chief, Howard, the CONservative master of porkies, who started the ball rolling on this indecent slope, as well as indulging in little wars than sent these people flying out of their countries — like flies escape a turd on the tar, before being squashed by a double-B truck... 

Yes we voted these morons, in and out, left and right. And they decided to knife each other as well as if it was normal. Time to kick them in the arse. ScoMo could be a nice man, but he is a devious angry nasty politician. Vote for the one that is not a CRASS CONservative.

I was going to say that at the last spill, Dutton would have been a better choice. More directly awful rather than devious. It would be better to live in a nice police state where everyone is scared to fart above their station, than live in a nasty dishonest, dishonourable, disreputable, unethical, unprincipled, immoral, unscrupulous, fraudulent, cheating, dubious, dirty, unfair, treacherous, duplicitous, double-dealing dictatorship, where policies are desperately made on the hop — like surprisingly stupid to decide moving the embassy of somewhere to somewhere-else to impress the voters who are affiliated with somewhere-else... Very very very devious.
