BBC News reports:
Australia will remove a controversial tax on female sanitary products following years of campaigning by women’s groups.
Currently, tampons and sanitary pads are sold with a 10% goods and services tax (GST) because they are categorised as non-essential items.
Women have argued it is an unfair classification, noting items such as condoms and sunscreen are exempt.
Federal and state governments agreed on Wednesday to remove the levy.
