On a hot summer night in Canberra, Grace Tame stood next to the Prime Minister and issued a call to arms.
The eloquent and impassioned 26-year-old had just been named the 2021 Australian of the Year for her work campaigning for survivors of child sexual abuse, like her, and to overturn a Tasmanian law that prevented victims from being named.
Australian of the Year Grace Tame accepts her award in January. She has become an inspiration for sexual assault survivors including Brittany Higgins.
