Thank you for reading The Australian Financial Review blog for Monday, March 17 – that’s a wrap. Some of our top stories for the day include:

• Treasurer Jim Chalmers says he will not intervene in the GST allocation after his home state of Queensland saw its funding cut by $2.4 billion next financial year.
• Opposition leader Peter Dutton says the Coalition will introduce US-style organised crime laws in parliament that would give police new powers to target the leadership of groups that engage in patterns of criminal behaviour.
• The competition watchdog says Australian airports have never been more profitable, despite carrying fewer passengers than before the pandemic.
