One Nation Calls for Grace Tame to Be Stripped of Australian of the Year Award

‘Her support of a global intifada should be a terrifying trigger for ASIO and other police agencies to investigate who she’s hanging out with,” said Hanson.

One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson is demanding that activist Grace Tame be stripped of her former Australian of the Year title after she called for an “intifada” in Sydney during a pro-Palestine rally, less than two months after the Bondi terror attack.

Tame, who received the prestigious award in 2021 for her work with child sexual assault survivors, was seen leading chants at Sydney’s pro-Palestine protests on Feb. 9.
