Also, there’s a giant tampon on its way to the treasurer.
University student Subeta Vimalarajah is not letting up in her campaign to get the government to remove the 10% GST on tampons. First it was an online petition, and now she's got a giant tampon that she wants to send to the federal treasurer Joe Hockey.
The tampon is two metres tall and made out of cotton so people can write their message to the treasurer on it in permanent marker, Vimalarajah told BuzzFeed News.
"It's a campaign piece, so people can reflect about their thoughts on the issue," she said.
The aim is to walk it through campus and take some photos, and then hand it on to other universities, starting with University of Technology and the University of New South Wales.
"We want people to take photos and upload them with the hashtag #bettertaxreview and #stoptaxingmyperiod," she said.
