I may not be a woman, but I can definitely say that vouchers would be the better method.

AnarchoPhiliac I may not be a woman, but I can definitely say that vouchers would be the better method. That'd make sense, yeah. Wouldn't get "general issue" feminine hygiene products, for one thing.

It's quite lame, really. I remember a huge outcry at the time, but I have no idea why they never scrapped that part. I'm half inclined to see what percentage of parliament actually needed to use them at the time. EDIT: OMG lol http://www.abc.net.au/pm/stories/s94499.htmQuote: And as our chief political correspondent, Matt Peacock reports, the Health Minister has further inflamed female anger by comparing tampons to shaving cream. MATT PEACOCK: Currently the Government is still deciding just which products you might find at your local chemist shop are GST-free and which are not. And today the Health Minister, Doctor Michael Wooldridge, was quite clear on the matter. Things which help to prevent disease, he said, like sunburn cream, should be exempt, but other more cosmetic items should not be. So, he was asked, should tampons be tax-free? MICHAEL WOOLDRIDGE: As a bloke, I'd like shaving cream exempt, but I'm not expecting it to be. REPORTER: Well, condoms are exempt though. Do you think . MICHAEL WOOLDRIDGE: Well, condoms prevent illness. I wasn't aware that menstruation was an illness. REPORTER: Right. Well, what about pills that are . MICHAEL WOOLDRIDGE: Prevent illness. REPORTER: Aspirin? MICHAEL WOOLDRIDGE: Well, aspirin's a medication. REPORTER: Sun screen? MICHAEL WOOLDRIDGE: Sun screen prevents illness. REPORTER: So tampons shouldn't be exempt because they don't prevent illness? MICHAEL WOOLDRIDGE: Well, no, shaving cream isn't exempt, soap isn't exempt, toilet paper isn't exempt. I mean, the point is some things are going up but some things are coming down, and people have a lot more money in their pocket so they'll be far better off.

Pads are taxed as well, tampons just seemed to have gained a big focus here. Probably because incontinence pads might have muddied the issue a bit, as they are not taxed because they have a 'medical use'.

Ha, while tampons don't prevent illness, I certainly wouldn't call them cosmetic, either =P
