Why this petition matters

There’s no womb in society for a tampon tax.
Did you know there is a GST on Tampons AND they are called a ‘luxury’? I don’t know about you, but they don’t seem like a luxury to me. Condoms, lubricant, incontinence pads or sunscreen on the other hand are GST free. What’s with that?
It’s a bloody outrage. Putting a tax on products women need as a direct consequence of their biology is fundamentally sexist.
It’s a stain on our national image. Half the population of Australia -- approximately 10 million women -- will pay tax on these products for the greater part of their lifetime. Costing us about $1000 for buying an essential health product.
The Tampon Tax is ridiculous. Period. Luckily, women of childbearing age - those of us who need tampons - will be key voters in the upcoming election. So they'll need to listen if they want to woo us for our votes!
It’s a bleeding disgrace. As Australians, as voters, as women, we request that the Federal Government the Opposition end this inherently sexist and unfair unfair tax.
This tax is really cramping my style. Tampons belong on the GST free health products list - they're not a luxury. They're a necessity.
Can you help me out by sharing the petition on Twitter and Facebook -- with all your friends and everyone else?
Let's pull the plug on the Tampon Tax!
