Support a move to remove the unfair tampon tax at the upcoming state and territory meeting.

Since 2000, the Australian Government has taxed every menstruating Australian 10% every time we get our period. It is estimated that our periods earn the government a whopping $25 million each year!

And how can a bodily function be taxed? Because the government doesn't consider the tampons and pads we're forced to buy every few weeks 'necessary' enough to be GST-free.

On the other hand, condoms, lubricants, sunscreen and nicotine patches are all tax-free because they are classed as important health goods. But isn't the reproductive health and hygiene of 10 million Australians important too?

People who get periods don't buy pads and tampons for pleasure, so why are we forced to fork out an extra 10% every 2, 3, 4 weeks? Taxing Australians for getting their period isn't just sexist, it's fundamentally unfair!

To the eight state and territory treasurers, the upcoming meeting on 21 August is your chance to get serious about making life fairer for the 10 million Australians who get their period. Use this once in a generation chance to remove the unfair tampon tax!

RSVP to the rally going down in your city this Friday 14 August, calling on the state and territory treasurers to support the removal of the tampon tax in their meeting next week.

There'll be period-themed flash mobs, human-sized tampons, and seriously sassy speeches! RSVP here:
