Andrews Government to provide free sanitary products in state schools

“Free pads and tampons in all public schools provided by the Andrews Labor Government,” Neil Mitchell said.

“Paid for by you.

“They say it’s as necessary as toilet paper and soap.

“Look, if you can afford it, if you can have free sanitary products for girls in schools, fair enough.

“But let’s have air-conditioning, and enough tables and chairs and books as well.”

“They don’t say what it’s going to cost, but I don’t imagine it’ll be a fortune,” Neil said.

“It’s just a social media stunt.”
