Do you stand with Grace Tame?

#IStandWithGraceTame

[Louise Greene @GreeneLouiseAus]

I am absolutely fed up with the relentless targeting of Grace Tame.

Let's be clear. There is a difference between fair criticism and a public pile-on. What we keep seeing directed at Grace is not constructive debate. It is constant scrutiny, personal attacks, outrage cycles and a level of judgment that seems reserved for women who dare to speak too loudly, too honestly or too unapologetically.

Grace Tame survived child sexual abuse. She helped change laws. She gave a voice to countless survivors. She has spent years doing work that most people would never have the courage to do.

Yet the attacks never seem to stop.

A few weeks ago it was the Prime Minister taking aim at her. Now it's Charlie Pickering. Before that, countless commentators, columnists and social media critics. Different names, same pattern.

And frankly, it disgusts me.

No, women in public life should not be immune from criticism. Nobody is. But there is a world of difference between criticism and the kind of sustained public hounding that seeks to diminish, discredit and exhaust someone.

As someone who has experienced public judgment and media attacks, I know how destructive these campaigns can be. They reduce human beings to caricatures. They erase context. They encourage outrage while ignoring the very real emotional toll on the person at the centre of it.

What troubles me most is that women who survive violence are so often expected to be perfect. The moment they become angry, outspoken, political, imperfect or inconvenient, they are treated as fair game.

Grace Tame has contributed more to the conversation about sexual abuse and survivor advocacy in this country than most of her critics ever will.

Maybe it's time some of the men lining up to take shots at her stopped and asked themselves a simple question:

Why are they spending so much energy attacking a survivor instead of supporting the change she helped create?

Enough. #gracetame #charliepickering

"Israel beat, tortured, and sexually assaulted me and my fellow humanitarian peace activists for days."

Statement by Australian activist Violet Coco after her release from an Israeli prison.

Listen to every word carefully.

In my hometown of Gladstone there are three LNG export terminals. In the last decade they've sent more than $125 billion of LNG offshore, but they've paid less than a billion in corporate tax combined.

The gas companies are taking the piss at our expense. It's time to tax them.

The satanic regime is slaughtering Lebanese and Palestinian civilians simultaneously, yet all those cowardly Western legacy media journalists - many of whom follow me and others on their anonymous accounts - don't even dare tweet about the ongoing genocide.

We haven't been able to bring any supplies into Gaza, Palestine, since 1 January 2026, because Israeli authorities are blocking aid.

Read from our medical adviser in Gaza about how this is affecting operations in our hospitals and clinics:

So, @abcnews reports burning ambulances, almost certainly a false flag, but fails the report the 10 hour long torture of a toddler by Israel, who burnt him with cigarettes and drove nails through his legs.

Seriously fucked up.

Australia’s racist media is in overdrive trying to defend this creep’s visit. For over a year, this photo has done the rounds with no comment from Herzog. Now he says it was a “smokescreen shell” on which he wrote, “I rely on you.” Can anyone verify this? I am certain it’s a lie.

Let this sink in: 3 and a half thousand police will be diverted to to the Sydney CBD for #Herzog visit (500 of them for Monday’s protest). There are obviously serious concerns for his safety, and the rally by protesters exercising a democratic right is not the real concern. Let’s face it, after Bondi, the concern is he may be shot. A visit during such heightened concerns about safety so Zionist leaders can make a point (remember the coup they pulled off when Herzog senior was ‘invited by Hawke’ who soon after spearheaded the reversal of UN 3379 - yes, Australia take a bow) hardly seems wise. As for the cost to Australia, criminals all over the country will be rejoicing - a dream come true in communities that will be stripped of their normal police resources. As for the $$$ cost..

Australia is hosting Isaac Herzog, and he’s not coming alone.

His rhetoric blaming “an entire nation” was cited by the International Court of Justice when assessing the risk of genocide.

His delegation includes:
• Doron Almog, a former general linked to war-crimes allegations and a UK arrest warrant
• Yaakov Hagoel, head of the World Zionist Organisation, was tied to settlement expansion and Palestinian displacement.

This is not diplomacy.
It is political cover for impunity.

A reply to Peter Hartcher (on Isaac Herzog’s visit to Australia), which I have emailed to the Sydney Morning Herald, and which will double as a reply to my local MP. #auspol
