Prime Minister Scott Morrison and 2021 Australian of the Year Grace Tame during a morning tea held at The Lodge in Canberra.Grace Tame has delivered a cold reception to Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Tuesday during a tense meeting between the pair ahead of an event held at The Lodge.
The 2021 Australian of the Year was attending a morning tea hosted for the finalists of this year’s award at the prime minister's residence in Canberra. Ms Tame appeared stoic as she watched Mr Morrison and his wife Jenny pose for photos with other people, before approaching the pair with her fiancé Max Heerey.“G’day,” she responded.“Thank you,” Ms Tame said, appearing to avoid eye contact with the prime minister.But Ms Tame then appeared visibly reserved as photos were taken next to the prime minister.
She had earlier tweeted an image about her two days in Canberra stating: “On second thoughts let’s not go to Canberra. It’s a silly place."
Grace shows no grace, good riddance ?
I don't blame her! No masks! Handshakes! All sorts of wrong.
So she should, he’s a creep.
rude girl
She must be a big drama queen
Deliberate acting from her
I would probably just observe that despite differences & dislikes, they both showed up & did what was required. At least we can still do that in this country, imagine if this was USA, they probably would of held separate rallies & claimed the other was fake news.
I don’t think she’s ‘uncomfortable’ - I’m guessing more like seething rage, disgust and absolute disrespect. And rightly so…
Appeared as exactly what was in her mind which was ungrateful and bad manners
Replace 'uncomfortable' with 'petulant'.
So...she's not a hypocrite. I wouldn't smile or want to shake his hand either.
Of course she would be feeling quite uncomfortable, as would anyone who was even half-way decent and compassionate. In the gut, they know the truth of the saying, 'if you lie down with dogs, you'll get up with fleas'. 🤔
That’s just disgraceful behaviour she is supposed to be a representative of Australia and she acted like a spoiled child. If you are unable to act with respect to others then what respect should we show to you. That’s just disgraceful
I don't blame her for being angered and repulsed by that smirking gronk. Respect is earned, not given.
Bad choice once again
Thank you for always remaining unbiased in your reporting. So much coverage tainted with quoting MPs denigrating Grace.
As a survivor of abuse, I ache for TamePunk, and all she has had to go through this year - encountering bully-boy men, with their thin veneer of civility. We survivors FEEL the gut reaction. It KILLS US TO SMILE & play pretend. She does this in stadium grade lighting! Rest Up!
Say no more
Grace is a deadset legend!
She surely packs a punch for someone so petite. I hope she continues on as a loud voice for women in Australia.
This all but confirms that ‘Australian of the Year’ is nothing but a joke. The only way to win it these days is to have a sad story. Grace Tame is certainly not the best Australia 🇦🇺 has to offer.
Wouldn't worry him. She seems to have issues
Outstanding example. 😐
dazza_double_u Probably the last place Grace would choose to be. GraceTameIsUs
You don't know what goes on behind closed doors
Got the same amount of respect he gives out, I’m being washed away by liberal tears🖕
Time the AOY was given to someone who doesn’t have a personal agenda !
She didn’t look ‘visibly uncomfortable’, looks like she knew exactly what she was doing
To those rushing to his fragile masculinity aid, why are you bothering? He’s shown before that he gives zero fucks how uncomfortable he makes young women and uses them for photo ops regardless of whether they consent.
LadyPoop2 I’d be uncomfortable too, I’m uncomfortable when I see him by accident on my tv!
He probably gas-lit her beforehand so she'd be destablised... hope she tells all tomorrow
She is obviously happy to be nominated but not that happy having to have to shake the hand of the PrimeIdiot Understandable! Good on ya GraceTame
Don’t blame her one little bit.
Don't blame her
He looks so happy when his Wechat account got suspended! How a beautiful day is
She owes him nothing, not a smile not a look. Nothing. Just think who out these 2 has demonstrated consistency, integrity and honesty? Not the bloke in the position of power. The only thing he has done is use his power to shut her down. All power to you✊ TamePunk
Worst Australian of the year ever. Rude and disrespectful to the Prime Minister and his wife regardless of her left wing ideologies. No wonder she could not make eye contact, shame on her.
HkarterKarter why wouldn't she! she knows exactly what he's all about - just ask Brittany Higgins! BrittHiggins_ can't see women voting for this awful human being!
HkarterKarter Thanks for your impartial headline
Grace playing politics for AlboMP
I’m sure he’s quite aware of her feelings towards him but maybe he’s mastered to a better extent, but not perfectly, the art of diplomacy. Many very very important negotiations I’m sure have taken place through gritted teeth. I’m not sure that she would be capable of that.
probably should have been her approach to old men from the start? LOL
Nah just plain rude and graceless!
And so she should. His views on women are outdated.
Her reaction reflects how we all feel about our political leaders sometimes.
Remember when Greta Thunberg almost bumped into Donald Trump?
Grace is being so unaustralian to be honest.
Grace Tame is obviously an excellent judge of character. AlboForPM
“Visibly uncomfortable” - I don’t think so - she knew exactly what she was going to do. Support her cause. Disappointed in her as AOTY.
So little grace
Reliving abuse, do these self indulgent God botherers never learn? Simply abide by common courtesy? Is asking this of this PM to much!
Did a male pen this garbage?
ThankYouGrace 💕
Narcissists make me uncomfortable too. scottythegaslighter
He deserves it, good on you Grace
Uncomfortable? She was raging. You make it sound like she had an ill fitting bra.
Scott is so used to it he didn't notice
It is hard for someone who has been abused to be near someone who is not committed to truth being revealed.
Uncomfortable is not what I’d say about that body language.
I wonder why?
Visibly uncomfortable! lolol Ridiculous headline. Justifiably and confidently contemptuous more like it.
She was not uncomfortable, she was strong and not intimidated by the charlatan of a PM. She was full of contempt and disdain for him as many Australians are
Privileged and powerful white collar feminists are fun at parties i bet 🙄🙄🙄
I don’t blame grace, I feel uncomfortable just to watch from home on the tv without having to be anywhere near him,he might place his hands on her, enough to scare the bejesus out of anyone.thats my thoughts
She seems unable to be professional....
thick count
