Hope all those doors do slam shut. She's got a great platform to do something but she and the media are completely wasting it. I agree with the above posts, seems like she's just itching for an Oprah interview. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a Grace Tame story where it chronicled how she was out at schools talking to young kids about how to identify and avoid pedos rather than all the reasons she doesn't like Scomo?I think she is making herself look like a loose cannon, she will be seen as too much of a liability for most IMO, way too much shooting from the lip.
Sad really, she has been able to open a lot of doors in the past year, hopefully they don't all slam shut on her this year.
Why is that?Blokesworld.....try speaking to some women
And not your boomer wives lol
Purple rinse brigade with a dried arrangementWhy is that?
Grace is blowing up the ones who built her up, welcome to the real World, today's media. You're only as good as your last headline.
So she has gone from side sneers, to bong hugging, a week is a long time in the media cycle.
Lucky us boomers have a grasp on reality, unlike you blokesworld... dudes lol.
From the article:‘I’d be lying if I said it didn’t let me down’: Grace Tame slams media outlets in open letter
The former Australian of the Year and child abuse survivor has called out media outlets that published an old photograph of her with a bong.www.smh.com.au
Activist and former Australian of the Year Grace Tame has accused Australian media outlets of attempting to discredit her by publishing an old photograph where she is pictured with a water pipe, colloquially known as a bong, as a 19-year-old.
Tame published an open letter on Twitter on Saturday afternoon to say she felt the coverage of the 2014 photo taken from a now-deleted Instagram post on her account had let her down, not only as an individual but as an advocate for the survivor community.
Ah yes, but it's not often we're wrong and we were right again.Purple rinse brigade with a dried arrangement
The sad part is you don't realise how out of touch you areAh yes, but it's not often we're wrong and we were right again.
Shows you still need a few more years on the clock, before you will have valued judgement.
Like we said, Grace had every opportunity to make a difference, but like most of the younger generation, they shoot from the lip.
That's a laugh, coming from someone, who still can't string a sentence together.The sad part is you don't realise how out of touch you are
Should read:The sad part is you don't realise how out of touch you are
The fact is, your too lazy to use punctuation.The sad part is, you don't realise, how out of touch you are.
ok boomerThat's a laugh, coming from someone, who still can't string a sentence together.
Yet still tries to come over as having a brain.
For example:
Should read:
The fact is, your too lazy to use punctuation.
Lazy being the operative word, as it probably permeates, through your whole persona.
You will be able to use that, as an exercise in English, on your next swing. ?
By the way, how sexist is it, that you denigrate Boomer wives? You really do need to look in a mirror son, before you end up in manure.
I'm sure HR in the mining companies wouldn't want to hear your quote:
"Blokesworld.....try speaking to some women
And not your boomer wives lol"
As the management are probably married to boomer wives, Tutt, Tutt.
And you say I'm out of touch, obviously no mirrors in your house, FW.?
Your stupidity is boundless, yet you continue to put it on display, amazing the perception the younger generation have of themselves.
10 out of 10 for arrogance @Humid , aptly supported by you ignorance.
But as I was sponsored to come here to help further Australia's fortunes, I will persevere and try my utmost, to drag you out of the mire of literal ignorance you find yourself in, as we have said the education system has a lot to answer for . ?
Classic yore lolThe fact is, your too lazy to use punctuation.
A good article that touches on the state of our media.
From the article:Focus on gaffes misses the real issues
Political journalism is not, or should not be, like sport reporting.www.theage.com.au
There is something inherently crazy-making about political journalism in the fever of an election campaign. The journalists spin a narrative and by doing so alter the reality on which they report.
Or do they?
It is almost too obvious to need stating, but the democratic purpose of an election campaign is to display and test the policies and capacities of competing candidates and their parties, to help voters make a choice.
And the purpose of political journalism is to help this process.
Political journalism is not, or should not be, like sport reporting.
So how are we to understand these phrases, lifted from the work of some of our leading political journalists over the last week, including some in this newspaper? There has been much commentary on who “won” the first week of the campaign, and who was “match fit” and who did or did not “drop the ball”.
Then there is the journalistic speculation on whether a gaffe – such as Albanese’s admittedly extraordinary failure to call employment figures to mind – will dominate the campaign, without any acknowledgement that journalists themselves largely determine this.
The opinion polls were uniformly inaccurate at the last federal election, and nobody is really sure that the problems have been fixed, yet their publication steers the dialogue.
What does it mean to say, as several political journalists did this week, that Scott Morrison is a better campaigner than he is prime minister?
If that is true, then surely it is the job of journalists to narrow the gap between those phenomena. If the campaign is not reflecting the quality of the prime minister, and the alternative prime minister, then that’s a problem, and an implicit journalistic failure.
One of the best sources of data on how Australians consume news is the annual report from the News and Media Research Centre at the University of Canberra. It shows only 13 per cent of Australians are paying for a news service – considerably lower than the global average of 17 per cent. Political journalism that is published behind paywalls is no longer really mass media. It informs an elite.
To the extent it trickles through to the majority, it is through influencing the free-to-air outlets where most Australians get their news.
Twenty-three per cent of news media users say social media is their main source of news – and mostly not the accounts of mainstream media and professional journalists. This is fast increasing, across all age groups.

Ah, the media talking about the media.Excellent article , pretty spot on. Go for sensationalism, forget the real issues, it's been typical of the Murdoch media but it seems to be spreading.
Looks like The Age is open minded enough to print some self criticism, good on them.
I think your concern is poorly placed.Another classic from the media IMO.
Is anyone forcing the parents to send the kids to that school? and if they are paying for the kids to go to that school, isn't it because they are happy with the way it is run.
If they aren't happy with the way it is run, send the kids to another school, maybe a Government school.

‘Goes against our beliefs’: Parents and church clash over private school values
While parents pay $30,000 a year or more for their children to go to Anglican schools, the ultimate decisions about how the schools are run, lie not with them, but with the church.
