Australian of the Year Calls For Education and Awareness Campaigns to Combat Child Sexual Predation
Australian of Year Grace Tame has used her first public address to call for young Australians to be educated on how to recognise the stages of sexual grooming and psychological manipulation to protect themselves from child sexual predators in the community.
Speaking at the National Press Club on Wednesday, Tame said that the silence surrounding child sexual predation in the community allows perpetrators to operate.
“Child sexual abuse remains ubiquitous in our society because while predators retain the power to get exactly what they want,” Tame said. “The innocent survivors and bystanders alike are burdened by the shame induced silence.”

More than 3,500 Australians were hospitalized after an encounter with a venomous animal or plant in 2017-18. Of those, 26 percent - or 927 people - had been stung by bees.

Obese Australians are turning to fad diets and fake cures after national guidelines based on decade-old evidence expired, leaving doctors hamstrung to fight the growing epidemic.
An alliance of GPs, nurses, obesity experts and state health departments is calling for Australian governments to fill the void left by the lapsed guidelines that expired in 2018 and establish a new clinical framework.
Lyn Keppler is an advocate for clinical assessment for treating obesity.
