ABC News (Australia) published this video item, entitled “”We have 3 key asks to better our nation”: Grace Tame addresses the National Press Club | ABC News” – below is their description.
A day after receiving a formal apology from the Prime Minister, former Liberal staffer Brittany Higgins and 2021 Australian of the Year Grace Tame give a joint address to the National Press Club.
Grace Tame has outlined three key asks:
13:38 – 14:30 For the government to take the issue of abuse in all its forms seriously: “I mean proactive, preventative measures – not these reactive, bandaid, electioneering stunts like acknowledging past harm at the last minute. If you don’t take a strong stance to condemn abuse, you enable it.”
14:38 – 16:48 More funding for prevention education – which is actually implemented: “What we need in order to create real change is meaningful investment in our children. In their education. Because they are the future of our nation.”
16:50 National, consistent, legislative change: “Still today, perpetrators of abuse find safety in outdated, inconsistent legislation which both protects them and perpetuates social ignorance.”
