On her last day as Australian of the Year, it is tradition that the outgoing winner is invited to the Lodge and it is tradition that the recipient turns up and smiles for the cameras.
But the pictures tell a different story. Tame’s facial expressions and her own body is a symphony of discuss. The Prime Minister awkwardly recognises he’s getting the cold shoulder and tries to smile a bit harder. Carrie Bickmore clashes with The Project co-host Peter van Onselen after he wrote a column describing Grace Tame as “childish”. Picture: Channel 10
Author Amy Remeikis, whose new book, On Reckoning, is out this week, had this to say to Tame’s critics.
Australia's own GretaThunberg ..... TamePunk And I don't care about her. There are millions of abused women & men around the globe.
Good on ya Grace! 👍
She exposed the liberals for what they are good on her
Somebody tame that fool
Seriously who cares
Good riddance.
She lives rent free in the heads of Murdoch puppets.
Grace, you may not like Scott Morrison but, as a politician he will generally demonstrate politician type behaviour. However, he is the Prime Minister and, like it or not, he should be treated in a respectful way. Your behaviour was contemptible and totally inappropriate.
Who ?
What a piece of work, lack of manners and respect , she did not deserve her publicity for her cause, you don’t have to like the PM but you lady are a disgrace
Who cares her. 5 mins are up , we won't remember her in a few months or days even !
Never shocked me , good on her
Looks like a cats arse.
Just doing do much for women. Just a brat
Sour face grace is the most undeserving AOTY. Bug scraped off a windshield would be more deserving.
Prats will not achieve change only reactive negative force.
Bloody stupid - uneducated bitch, How come she was nominated last year for the Australian of the Year. Please point out who was that narrowminded Politian. That bitch makes me sick. No more mistakes like this and please control those aggressive females - pushing to govern....
All you “men” out there bitching about Grace Tame, focus on eliminating the scourge of sexual violence you “men” perpetrate on women. Men are tools.
Backlash? Most comments are in support of Grace. What an amazing woman. Sco Mo and his LNP thugs don't deserve any respect with the way they've consistently acted.
misskylie77 I think a few folk need to actually read the article before commencing.
More LNP propoganda drivel.
This analysis is very wrong. You are considering the event a ScottMorrisonMP event. It’s not. It wasn’t for Scomo. It’s an Australia event. While I agree with her stand with Scomo, it doesn’t justify her behaviour in this event. samanthamaiden BickmoreCarrie vanOnselenP
How things move forward will be key …if change has to be bought you have to fight for years and be selfless .. if instagram/Facebook posts will bring change you’re kidding yourself..
Denigrating the Office of the PM is an LNP art. In particular, by the alleged Christian faction
Give me a break, don’t turn childish petulance into some kind of heroic subversion of “societal rules” of how women should behave. That behaviour insulted women as much as Scomo.
Tim_jbo Drivel
Don't you people know that the notion that women have to smile to keep everyone in their comfort zone was already unpopular in the 60s.
who movealong
Another spokesperson of the Labor party no more no less Australian of the year should be inclusive
her mood is her choice and no one has the right to expect her to pretend
I like was she did
Don’t care what her motives were but extremely bad behaviour. Like a spoilt child tossing her toys out of the cot. Shameful to be given such an honour and carry on like that. Great to see Dylan get it I’m sure he will be great.
Let's face she was dammed if she did and dammed if she didn't.
Who gives a fuck what news thinks..she did what she did cos its her business not fking yours.
She isn't AOY anymore. Stop giving her any more oxygen. She proved on the last day of her post what we knew all along, the only thing she was interested in was using the award to become a political attack dog for the Labor party.
Who?
We don’t care. Grace is so yesterday. We don’t care what her intentions were or was. Stop the spin
I heard an interview with her once where she said she's on the autistic spectrum and finds it hard to express fake emotions. Not everyone is able to fake warmth they don't feel.
Better for Grace to save all the misguided ill feeling for the perpetrator that made her a victim ?
Best analysis I’ve read. Go samanthamaiden .
More people excusing bad behaviour whenitsuits
Who wrote this garbage. Sociopaths are everywhere. Tame is only one.

Deborah Knight opinion: Grace Tame embodies a new generation of fearless females'She's delivering the same level of respect she believes the Prime Minister dishes out, whether he's aware of it or not.' 9News Wrong Deb, she behaved like a petulant child, she did herself no favours. The eye rolling and head flick are not taking a stand, it’s just showing how shallow you are.Hopefully she fades away into the forgotten realm of former AOTY Half the population will be for and the other half against. This is not a good outcome. In your opinion Deb which on most things its usually wrong. She is entitled to her view of Scott Morrison, but needs to remember she was there as AOTY and a representative of those who supported her cause.
