The 2022 Australian of the Year Dylan Alcott has paid tribute to his predecessor and friend, Grace Tame, telling ABC News Breakfast she had left "big shoes" for him to fill.
"She set the bar high and they're big shoes to fill. So I hope I can do it justice, that's for sure."as well, promising to uphold an agreement the pair made once he completes the Australian Open competition."You have done so much for your cause and, if I could be one-eighth of the Australian of the Year that you were, I think I've done my job.
Go for it Dylan I hope you get a look in. I think Grace wants another year 😂
Congratulations Dylan Alcott Beware of the Australian public Dylan They have a History of trying to dismantle the Australian of the year
I very much hope that Dylan does not play partisan politics, does not seek out to undermine any political party and treats the role with respect. What has occurred in the last 12 months could very easily resulted in AOTY being completely removed.
ColettaFrank Yes she does. But Dylan Alcott has already done so much.
i don't think so dylan i've seen you on t v to me your all class she played politics so she can fk off
DylanAlcott should avoid thinking he is now the authority on NDIS.
A weapon of mass destruction.

Exactly, she weaponised the Australian of the Year ward.
Sorry but you would never disrespect the PM like Grace Tame did. She should be ashamed of herself. She is not an example I'd like our future generations to follow. Whereas you are an amazing person. You deserve Australian of the Year Dylan.
Not sure he can step into any shoes
Dylan like Grace will call it like it is. Hold onto your braces POV.
Ever the diplomat.
Weaponise Australian of the year? Novel thought.
You betcha!!!
auspol Dylan Why am I getting this horrible feeling that we’ve created another monster. Hope I’m wrong but taking advice from (No) Grace is an ugly portent.
Misguided. Grace in name only. No class.
Just don't have a tanty, sorted.
Unfortunately Tame a weapon for decisiveness and hate. Glad to see the back of her.
Its hard not to like Dylan Alcott. He's extremely passionate about everything he does. I think he will make a great Australian of the Year
DylanAlcott Congratulations on being selected as Australian of the Year. You will do a wonderful job in your tenure as Australian of the Year. So proud of Gen Y and Z! AustralianOfTheYear
