Congratulations Grace Tame, Australian of the Year 2021. And an amazing acceptance speech as well.
Grace’s advocacy and sacrifice has changed our society, providing greater choice to victim survivors of sexual abuse and enabling advocacy for an issue which has for too long been without a face.

A well deserved acknowledgement and award for such an amazing human 👏👏👏 ... See MoreSee Less
