Extreme Weather Triggers Total Fire Bans Across Australia

Grace Tame, the 2021 Australian of the Year, stirred controversy at a morning tea event hosted by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese by wearing a T-shirt that read 'F*** Murdoch.' This incident reignited discussions about her previous tense encounter with then-Prime Minister Scott Morrison in 2022, where she famously gave him a disdainful side-eye. Critics have slammed both Tame for her choice of attire and Albanese for welcoming her with a smile despite the offensive message. Commentators described the situation as a significant miscalculation of decency, with some labeling Tame as a 'boorish' figure who has contributed little to society. Tame has been vocal about her grievances with media portrayals of her story, particularly by News Corp, owned by Rupert Murdoch. The incident has led to wider discussions on the expectations placed on women regarding their demeanor in public settings.
