> In March, Ms Tame said she had lost speaking engagements, something she attributed to an “ongoing smear campaign” against her, following a speech at a protest in Sydney against the visit of Israel’s President Isaac Herzog, in which she led a chant of “globalise the intifada”.
I hope they don’t win.
Quite the pivot from “advocate, raise awareness, and champion law reform on behalf of child sexual abuse victims and survivors.” to supporting more October 7 attrocities.
Small dollar donations are pretty much dead in Australia. Pretty expected outcome for most foundations without some millionaires passionate about it or whatever.
Worth noting her foundation lost $60k on revenue of $150k last year.
I’m not a fan of any charity that misspends money like that.
Before any of the recent bullshit with Albo, Israel, etc.
Charities can so easily be inefficient and perceived to be a waste of money.
From the Huon river to the sea, we will soon be free of Tame for good
The Israel lobby strikes again

Reminder to Tame, no one owes you attention or money – freedom of speech isn’t freedom from consequences.
“According to the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission, the Grace Tame Foundation brought in a total revenue of $148,629 for 2025, compared with its total expenses of $209,269, leaving a reported loss of about $60,600.”
The lack of funding occurred prior to her recent argument with Albo, and subsequent loss of speaking engagements.
I mean… The financial statements are easily accessible on the ACNC website. The donations received went straight out the door for legal expenses, to a firm one of the board members is a partner of. After they spent $35k on a website that doesn’t even look like it’s been proof read. Huge red flags for corporate sponsors who do their due diligence before throwing cash around. It raises the question why wasn’t Marque Lawyers taking on this representation pro bono if one of the partners was so passionate about it he is a board member.
Mossad Minns wins again
Its really noble that lots of people want to use their platform and name.
But can they maybe align themselves with existing charities? There are lots of overheads and lots of charities have established mechanisms in place. If each charity returns 90% after operational expenses, surely minimising these by pooling everything together is a better outcome?
Setup a special grant within an existing charity named after themselves, and have input in where the grant goes.
lets be real this is the jewish and israeli lobbies fault because she stood up for palestine
Can anyone reassure me that most Facebook comments are from bots because I’ve seen some disgusting comments about Grace as well as people defending what BRS has been arrested for
Well I’m glad my money didn’t go to the lawyers.
Sigh. No one’s getting injections, everyone’s in love with a war criminal, multiple illegal wars going on, the world is burning up and now this. Everything is awful.
Everyone needs to be very careful what they read about Grace Tame, ever since she encouraged another Intifada, which means at best standing up to Israel and at worse a retaliatory genocide, there is a well resourced smear campaign against her. Seriously look at every commenters history, check your biases.
Personally I think if she said Intifada she’s an idiot, since it is definitely more associated with a call to arms, however I also realise that Israel is incredibly intertwined with this countries decision makers. You’d have to be a fool not to see it. The point being is understand what forces are pushing you to believe a certain thing and why.
