Subhead:From “problematic” ABC hire to legal threats: Grace Tame wants to shut down GraceTame.com and silence criticism with lawfare against Avi Yemini# YouTube-embed:CGgXBhBzGZs I've held Grace Tame accountable for so long that she's now threatening legal action against me. Yes, the former Australian of the Year wants to sue me over my website GraceTame.com , a domain that redirects to a petition calling for her to be stripped of her title and charged for incitement to violence following her chants at recent rallies. I am not backing down. I have retained one of Australia's top media lawyers because I will not allow activist figures or tax-payer funded media elites to pressure journalists into silence. AUD-embed:avi_grace_tame_legal_threat_fund Last week, I interviewed ABC Melbourne Drive presenter Charlie Pickering outside the broadcaster’s offices during protests over the decision to give Grace Tame a new taxpayer-funded podcast focused on autism. Pickering, who identifies as Jewish, acknowledged concerns about giving a taxpayer-funded platform to Tame, who has publicly described reports of sexual violence against Jewish women on October 7 as 'propaganda' and led the chant 'From Gadigal to Gaza, globalise the intifada' at a Sydney rally following the Bondi terror attack. His big, brave assessment? He described the ABC’s decision to hire her as 'problematic'. That’s it. Just 'problematic'. Even that small sliver of criticism was enough to trigger an immediate backlash. Pickering was targeted quickly and relentlessly. But rather than standing by his comments, he executed an astonishing backflip. NB-embed:charlie_pickering_targeted_over_grace_tame_remarks One moment he was defending the ABC and downplaying any concerns about bias. The next, he was on air walking back his remarks after internal scrutiny and pressure over ABC policies on public statements by staff. He even blamed an 'unnamed provocateur' for his comments, despite having openly engaged in a lengthy on-the-record conversation at the time with yours truly.
