In what seems to have become an annual event, the Australian Greens attempted last night to get the GST amended so that it would no longer be applied to women’s sanitary products, like tampons. From The Canberra Times:
Queensland Greens Senator Larissa Waters attempted to scrap the “tampon tax” as part of an amendment to the government’s legislation which will see the GST added to imported goods worth less than $1000, but was voted down 33 to 15.
