* GST payments are calculated based on population and economic conditions of a jurisdiction, as well as other payments it receives
* Calculations are made across a rolling three-year period
* Queensland has gone backwards for how much GST it receives due to its mining royalties
* Victoria received the most because it is not reliant on mining and has had a population boom in recent years
* No worse-off payments are made to compensate states and territories following a deal the federal government struck with WA in 2018
* The WA deal ensures the state’s percentage of GST revenue stays above a certain percentage, currently 75 per cent, due to its royalties from mining
