The spat over GST has turned ugly as Western Australia Premier Colin Barnett says his state's assistance during Black Saturday is a reason Victoria should not oppose a freeze to the west's GST share.

The comments have enraged Victoria's Premier Daniel Andrews who is calling for an immediate apology.

Ahead of the Council of Australian Governments in Canberra, Mr Barnett has been campaigning for a freeze in the state's GST share, which is due to drop to a return of 30 cents for every dollar collected.

Victoria has attacked the freeze, with Mr Andrews recently accusing the WA government of spending like "drunken sailors".
