Letter from 14yo girl inspires government to offer free tampons

It's every teenage girl's worst nightmare — getting their period at school and not having any sanitary items.Period products will be free for girls in Tasmanian state schools from term three this year

Premier Peter Gutwein made the announcement while delivering the State of the State address in Parliament yesterday. "I know many females here that have that problem of not having the accessibility of free sanitary items," she said. "We were put on hold for a fair while because of COVID, but 13 months later and we finally have our machine," Ms Slay said.Each period pack contains two pads and six tampons.

Student Emma Johnston said the machine came about after students attempted to try and work out what the biggest problems at Don College were.

Exeter is a tiny town in which lives a gal with an excellent idea, who attends a public school that encourages them to do something to make a difference - that will change the lives of girls throughout the state ! Thx to the govt for listening. So proud 😊

So will the women who don't like men want the Government to supply them with free dildos

Get after it, friend! You’ve got this!

Sanitary products should be free for citizens. Or at least free for citizens under 18 before they qualify for Centrelink.

abchobart Any parent not buying their female child sanitary products when they need them, unless the child is receiving their own Centrelink payment, should have their kids taken off of them. It's only a few dollars a month, and even the minimum level of child-support or FTB would cover it

Excellent news, we need this to be nationwide

PM opens up on Abetz letterScott Morrison says there is no new evidence in a letter sent to him by the Tasmanian Premier, urging him to consider whether senator Eric Abetz slut-shamed Brittany Higgins. Label it any way you need to justify the failed, yet open obvious coverup. 'Disgusting drunk, known slut, prostitute - et al' None of which deserves or condones rape or sexual assault. Typical deflective blame the victim rhetoric, which is increasing in popularity. So this past month all the women are liars, drunks or sluts. Still today Morrison beleives the man and not the female. He disgusts me. So the women are not to believed again . How does the PM know ? Yet again not listening .
