        Women's sanitary products should never have been taxed in the first place, it's only taken two decades to leave the stoneage Can only wait and wonder if they will also remove condoms also as a huge f$@k you to half of our population.

        I suggest a GST on everything offset by an increase in minimum incomes and social security payments.

        @AustralianLabor and @billshortenmp need to know that the number of votes gained by the cheap vote buying from 'tampon tax' can never replace the number of votes lost by the stupid imputation credits announcement and the return to the bad old Labor refugee Policy. @PeterDutton_MP

        There is no such thing as a 'tampon tax' but there is a goods and services tax applied to goods. Any issue sshould be dealt with by broadening the tax base and not fiddling around te edges. #auspol #speers #headsup

        McGowan got to try something everything keeps falling flat. Should be GST across the board.
