The issue

Hi everyone,

As Australian taxpayers, we have the right to expect our public broadcaster to uphold basic standards of fairness, truth, and respect. That’s why I’m calling on the ABC to immediately end its partnership with Grace Tame as host of her podcast Autistic AF with Grace Tame (part of Ladies, We Need to Talk).

Grace Tame has used her previous public platform to:

•  Lead chants of “From Gadigal to Gaza, globalise the intifada” at a Sydney rally in February 2026. This isn’t peaceful protest language, “globalise the intifada” is widely seen as a call to spread the kind of violence we saw during the intifadas (suicide bombings, stabbings, and civilian murders) around the world, including here in Australia.

•  Publicly dismiss the horrific reports of systematic rape and sexual violence by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023, as mere “propaganda” that’s been “debunked.” These atrocities have been confirmed by eyewitnesses, forensic evidence, the United Nations, and multiple independent investigations. Denying them, especially as someone who built her name on fighting violence against women, is deeply disturbing.

The ABC is funded by all of us, every taxpayer. Under its Charter (from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation Act), it’s supposed to deliver accurate, impartial content that serves the whole community, not push divisive activism or hate. Platforming someone who calls for “globalising” violence and denies documented atrocities against women goes completely against that.

We shouldn’t have to pay for this. It undermines trust in our national broadcaster and makes Jewish Australians feel unsafe in their own country.

We’re asking the ABC to:

1.  Sack Grace Tame from her podcast role and stop all payments immediately.

2.  Review how they choose hosts and content to make sure they actually follow the Charter.

3.  Be more transparent and accountable with our tax dollars.

If you believe public broadcasting should stick to facts, fairness, and basic decency, not spread hate or denial, please sign and share this petition. Let’s send a strong message together.

Thanks for standing up for what’s right.
