Grace Tame Critiques Murdoch at PM's Tea

At a morning tea hosted by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in Canberra, former Australian of the Year Grace Tame made headlines by wearing a T-shirt that read 'Fuck Murdoch,' directly criticizing media mogul Rupert Murdoch. Tame articulated that her message extends beyond Murdoch, symbolizing the greed and disconnection of the wealthy elite that she believes is damaging the planet. During the event, she emphasized the need for grassroots resistance against such powers to achieve climate action and justice. This is not the first time Tame has used this platform for activism; she previously stirred controversy for her critical stance against then-Prime Minister Scott Morrison regarding his handling of sexual assault allegations in Parliament. Tame's bold statement was met with smiles from the Prime Minister and his fiancée, though there was no overt reaction to her shirt. She asserted that challenging entrenched power structures is essential for meaningful change.
