THE federal government is "salivating" at the prospect of coast-to-coast conservative governments that will clear the way for the GST to be increased, South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill says.
On the final day of the SA election campaign, Mr Weatherill said a Liberal government led by Steven Marshall would not stand up to the coalition in Canberra.
"They're salivating at the prospect of having Steven Marshall sitting there so that they can have wall-to-wall Liberal governments," Mr Weatherill told reporters on Friday.
"That's what the name of the game is here.
"So that (Prime Minister) Tony Abbott can roll out his agenda with little or not resistance."
Mr Weatherill said his government, if returned, would continue to oppose any moves to increase the GST, to broaden its base or to change the manner in which the funds were distributed among the states.
He said any changes would hit working families the hardest.
"They're talking about putting a tax on food, they're talking about putting a tax on education services, they're talking about increasing a regressive tax," he said.
"Now we're going to oppose that."
If the Liberals end Labor's long rule in both South Australia and Tasmania on Saturday, the ACT's Katy Gallagher will be the only Labor leader left around the Council of Australian Governments table.
