NSW: Howard wants response from premiers to Rudd's plan

The prime minister says all premiers should make it known whether they agree with KEVIN
RUDD's plan to cut GST revenue .. and potentially take over financing of public hospitals.

The opposition leader says part of the ALP's health plan could involve taking back
billions of dollars of GST revenue .. if Canberra takes over running public hospitals
from the states.

JOHN HOWARD says the premiers should come clean on whether they support Mr RUDD's plan
.. which will involve taking back 40 per cent of the GST revenue that they now receive.
