The Chaser Report — Comedy
The Chaser Report

Are you sick of news you can trust? For over 200 years, The Chaser has been the world’s leading source of news you can’t trust.

The Chaser Report offers a satirical look at Australian and world news and culture, along with occasional confessions of parenting and business failures, the latter often involving an amusingly large number of unsold avocado pool toys.

The show is hosted each day by two of the satirical comedy group’s co-founders, Charles Firth and Dom Knight, along with occasional cameos from more talented, less available Chaser colleagues.

REPEAT: Why Definitions Matter | Grace Tame Nov 24, 2021

Show notes

Given her phenomenal recent speech at her old high school about her journey and the personal toll of activism, we thought it would be appropriate to revisit our chat with Grace Tame from earlier this year.

Grace Tame is an advocate for sexual assault survivors, and this year's Australian of the Year. We asked her about the changes that she's fighting for, and how she's using her platform to make things happen – and discovered that optimism and humour are a very important part of how she operates.
