Tampon tax axing a win for people-powered campaigns, say Greens
“Today’s decision to remove the GST from sanitary products after 18 years is a win for people-powered campaigns,” said Australian Greens Senator, Janet Rice, who introduced a bill to axe the tampon tax that that passed the Senate in June.
“This is a huge win for all Australians who menstruate and shows the power of grassroots movements when we work together.”
“I’m so pleased that finally, both major parties have listened to the huge groundswell of Australians who knew from the start how sexist and unfair this tax was.”
