His remarks were prompted by a question from Sydney university law student Subeta Vimalarajah, who has started an online petition asking Mr Hockey to remove the GST on tampons, in response to the government's tax review. The petition has gathered more than 94,000 signatures.
Ms Vimalarajah asked Mr Hockey if he thought sanitary products were an essential health good for half the population .

When pressed on whether the GST should be removed on the items, he said: It probably should, yes, the answer's yes.
