Grace Tame, a remarkable advocate and courageous individual, chose to speak out against genocide during a recent rally, where anti genocide and basic human rights were at the forefront. This event, which aimed to peacefully allow individuals to voice their prayers and concerns, was officially sanctioned by a senior member of the NSW police. Yet, despite this authorization, the message tragically faltered in communication, leading to an unfortunate eruption of violence. Law enforcement officers, who were meant to maintain order, ended up violently dragging praying individuals across concrete and assaulting those who sought to shield them. This unsettling sequence of events underscores a greater issue, as it coincided with the visit of the Israeli Prime Minister, whose actions have been condemned globally for propagating and celebrating acts perceived as genocidal.

In this crucial moment, Grace Tame's voice did not waver. Her bravery in the face of such overwhelming adversity is a testament to her character and unwavering commitment to justice. Grace Tame has consistently stood on the right side of history, using her platform to amplify the voices of the marginalized and the oppressed. Her dedication cannot go unnoticed or unappreciated.

This petition seeks to honor Grace Tame with the 'Australian of the Decade' award, a title befitting her tireless advocacy and relentless pursuit of justice. Her efforts to bring light to issues of global importance, such as genocide, and her stand against the injustices witnessed in our own nation, demand recognition.

We urge you to sign this petition, not only to honor Grace Tame and her invaluable contributions but to send a resounding message that courage, empathy, and moral courage are values we cherish and celebrate in Australia. Let's come together to ensure she is given this rightful accolade, cementing her legacy and inspiring future generations to stand up for justice and equality. Please join us in spreading this message and acknowledging a true hero of our time by signing the petition today.
