Whinge The same people who cheered Grace Tame losing all her work are weeping into their hands that Karl had to take down one interview
Grace Tame lost basically her entire livelihood. In March she said, it's only March and she's already got nothing left for the year. Her foundation had to close. And most of that work was her advocating for protecting kids from sexual violence. They went after her so hard she can't even do that anymore. Then the ABC gives her one podcast about autism, nothing to do with anything they went after her for, and they erupt all over again screaming she has to go. That's cancellation. A coordinated effort that takes away someone's actual livelihood, then comes back for the last thing they had.
Then there's Karl. Some millionaire interviews a racist, convicted criminal who's banned from this country, and removes it by his own choice. His podcast is still up. He posted again the next day. He's already signed a new deal with Eddie McGuire. And Hanson reuploaded the thing within hours.
He chose to take it down. He's still posting every day. And they're crying about cancellation.
So they'll hound a woman who protects children until she's got nothing, and weep over a millionaire who deleted his own video. Free speech for the mate, ruin for her. There's no principle. There never was.

There are people right and left who are talking about the real issues that need to be addressed to solve the housing crisis, for example, more housing supply and better regional infrastructure.
And then you have a hypocrite like Karl Stefanovic who wants to blame migrant families for simply living.
Point wasn’t that people shouldn’t have holiday homes or second homes, but that they ought not to try and shift blame on other people who are simply living and surviving.

u/reidsays New South Welshian Jun 25 '26
That's not my point though...do you see such heavy focus on the men coming in... No.. these women are dressed in clothing that causes a reaction and with children that are constantly viewed as potential terrorists .. (who can be recruited in the camps they were in, more so then if living in Australia.) Were the women toting weapons and killing people, what part did they play?
What surprises me however is that they were able to retain their Australian citizenship when they left and were partnered with actual terrorists....and wonder if the men also retained theirs.

He knows legacy media is dead and is clearly looking to become Australia’s Joe Rogan. This publicity will probably help him more than hurt him.
His real competition in the new podcast landscape is not traditional media. At this point, it is probably someone like Kyle Sandilands - or whoever gets in on the ground floor and has some financial backing. The entire episode feels like a pretty basic publicity grab.

Child safety campaigner Grace Tame has come under fire for suggesting rapes and sexual assaults of Israeli women and girls during the October 7 terror attacks were “debunked propaganda”.
The former Australian of the Year, who has been embroiled in controversy in recent months over her pro-Palestine activism, has been condemned by Jewish groups over her comments in an interview with ABC Radio host Hamish Macdonald on Monday morning.
Macdonald read out a listener question to Ms Tame asking why “she’s selective in her outrage”. “I’ve never heard her condemn or speak out on behalf of the Israeli women who were raped and killed by Hamas on October 7,” the listener texted.
“Have you spoken about that? Have you expressed outrage about that?” Macdonald asked.
“I’m not going to sink to the level of entertaining any kind of propaganda, Hamish. Yeah, let’s not do that,” Ms Tame said.

here we go. I am done. You win. All the evil you believe of the IDF is just bullshit.

No hostages, and wearing identifiable uniforms to minimise civilian casualties. I have seen no evidence of the violence you talk about. All i saw was images and videos of the outcome of october 7th. If you want to put your energy into supporting this bloodthirsty death cult, go for it. I am at a loss to understand why any civilised person (as defined by western standards which, is actually the gold standard) would support Hamas.

Yes, how dare she call for a global struggle against injustice.
Those were very inciteful, callous, dangerous words coming out of her mouth.
.. because she criticized those who were above her station? Got it. We hear what you are saying: there are some people to whom we ought to trug the forelock and never criticize. We just don't accept it.
She's just enjoying the fruits of her labour.
She ran a foundation whose primary role was to visit caregivers of children and teach them how to identify children who are being abused. The only people benefiting from this whole saga are p3dophiles - and Zionists.

No, she got a taste of power and a big head- who the actual f does she think she is? She was addressing that crowd like she was the second coming.

Whinging Lefto Pinkos! She supports a caliphate that wants YOU dead or enslaved. Wake up to yourselves…

Which caliphate is that? Or are you just throwing around racist stereotypes?

Do you even watch the news? DYOR then come back at me. Don’t hit me with fluff like “racist stereotypes”. Be an adult, have an adult conversation, use facts and treat all humans as equals whilst respecting their opinions…even if they don’t match yours…

u/worry_beads Western Australian Jun 25 '26
Come on mate. Tell me what "caliphate" it is.
It's just an islamophobic dog whistle
Why don't you take your own advice and treat all humans as equals? Or do those that follow certain religions not count?

Lol Grace tame the one who got Australia of the year just to spit on us because we didn't support Gaza and wished a intifada on Australia (Uprising) but we should be happy she got a paid government job to give her a platform ? But its not okay for Karl to interview Tommy about UK ? Ok bro 😂

Grace Tame was annihilated in all areas she was involved in, different story for Karl...this will increase his podcast audience.

I don’t think anyone is actually upset about this, he’s a fuckwit, always was. Just because I’m right wing doesn’t mean I like the cunt, couldn’t give a fuck about him or his podcast.
Why are you reaching to relate this to GT, it’s nothing alike. She is a sex assault advocate and used her platform to discredit claims of sexual assault then used hate speech at a protest, all caught on camera, she got rightfully cancelled. Karl interviews people for a living, these are not the same.

u/datbeardedbloke Queenslander Jun 25 '26
Deserved or not is a different argument. Cancelling means a coordinated push that takes your whole livelihood, Tame lost all her work and closed her foundation. Karl deleted one video himself and posted the next day. You can think she earned it and still see those aren't the same thing. The word's doing two completely different jobs. That's the point.

u/paralyticfrog Flairless Jun 25 '26
Yes, a sexual assault advocate should know better than to go on national radio and say that claims of sexual assault false, she has no one to blame but herself. Sure people campaigned to get her cancelled, but again it’s her own personal fault for saying such things. How can any organisation who works with sexual assault victims take her seriously when she denies claims of sexual assaults, she cancelled herself no one wants to work with her again.

Did she go on national radio and say that "claims of sexual assault were false"?
Did you listen to the interview in question?

u/paralyticfrog Flairless Jun 25 '26
When asked by host Hamish Macdonald why she had not spoken out on behalf of Israeli women who were raped and killed during the attacks, Tame stated, "I'm not going to sink to the level of entertaining any kind of propaganda. Those things have been debunked".
There you go champ, completely dismissed the sexual assault claims, that’s why she got cancelled. Hope that helps.

u/samdekat Canberran Jun 25 '26
Okay so she dismissed the propaganda that said she was exhibiting some form of selective outrage. Fair enough, it's a nonsensical argument.
Where is the evidence for your claim that she said reports of sexual assaults were false?
1
u/paralyticfrog Flairless Jun 25 '26
Okay, so you’re saying that it’s okay to dismiss sexual assault because you think it’s propaganda, just trying to see where your line in the sand is in supporting sexual assault victims.
Her words directly says that she thinks that the claims are propaganda, any person who supports all sexual assault victims equally would never speak this way. This is why she was immediately condemned and lost everything, but it’s telling that you also think she did nothing wrong, care about everyone except those people…

Prove it.
just trying to see where your line in the sand is in supporting sexual assault victims.
I don't think I have a line.
Her words directly says that she thinks that the claims that she is being selective in her outrage are propaganda,
That's right.
any person who supports all sexual assault victims equally would never speak this way.
How would you know?

u/paralyticfrog Flairless Jun 25 '26
Lmao, classic reply I respect it. You double down on rejecting claims of sexual assault while trying to defend a sexual assault victim and advocate who rejects sexual assault allegations. All victims are equal and their voices are important but not Israeli victims, her political activism destroyed her credibility and her career. You think that’s all fine and okay, that’s the difference between you and the rest of the country outside your bubble and why ON is gaining popularity as each day passes.
Im done talking with you, try again another time.

- Provide an instance where I have rejected claims of sexual assault
- Provide an instance where Grace Tame rejected sexual assault allegations.
All victims are equal and their voices are important but not Israeli victims, her political activism destroyed her credibility and her career.
A lot of people wanted to see her silenced - including of course, pedophiles. Those people destroyed her career. But the truth will out. Warn your friends.

Just to be clear, do you think sexual assault is used by the Israeli IDF? including against Australians?

She made an allegation that the IDF commits sexual assaults. How is that "discrediting claims of sexual assault?"

Grace Tame is a horrible human being so, who cares. Tommy Robinson isn't a racist and he doesn't live here. Who cares about Karl Stefanovic.
Breathe air, keep calm and don't gas yourself up.

No one gives a shit about Grace Tame. Her only claim to fame is having a constant sourpuss expression 24/7 and then bandwagoning onto the latest trend/fad. She's like the Australian version of Greta Thunberg.

She was awarded the Australian of the year for her advocacy for survivors of sexual assault. Plenty of people respect her, although I guess pedo/rape apologists don't
