In breaking national news, the tampon tax is down the toilet after the states and territories agreed to make sanitary products exempt from GST.

 

The decision was reached this morning after state and territory treasurer's met and unanimously agreed to pass the Federal Government’s proposal.

 

It follows an 18 year long campaign to remove the 10% tax on pads and tampons.

 

While the full list of items made exempt is yet to be released, it is expected tampons, pads, menstrual cups, maternity pads and leak-proof underwear will be included.
