Grace fought for the right to speak about her sexual assault. Now the Government is changing the law so others can too

Grace Tame believes a move to change laws in Tasmania allowing survivors of sexual crimes to share their stories will give greater insights into how perpetrators operate.

"I haven't done it alone, this has been very much a team effort, myself supported by Nina Funnell, my beautiful family, my parents, my step-parents, my little brother, all my extended family." Ms Tame eventually won a court order allowing her to speak, but under proposed changes to Tasmanian legislation that will no longer be necessary.
