AXE THE TAMPON TAX

Last night on Q&A it started out with humour on its side. (You can watch the full show on ABC

Subeta Vimalarajah, the studentwho started a petition urging the government to remove GST on tampons (and sanitary pads), recorded a video question for Hockey, then showed up in the audience.

She put him on the spot and got him to agree to raise the issue with his colleagues, so we'll see how that goes. Hopefully Subeta gets her way, this will make a huge difference to something we (women) cannot control nor do we have a choice in the matter. 

GST should NEVER have been introduced on sanitary items, its such a disgrace that women have to pay more for something they NEED. According to the government, sanitary products, such as pads, tampons, and moon cups etc... are a luxury. Like new shoes. Like a holiday. Like nice, shiny jewellery. UMMM NO!
