Absolute Legend (lemmy.world)

"A provocative act by former Australian of the Year Grace Tame has stolen the limelight – again – at a morning tea with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for recipients of the 2025 awards.

The 2021 winner wore a “F*** Murdoch” T-shirt when she was greeted by Mr Albanese and his fiancee, Jodie Haydon, at The Lodge in Canberra on Saturday.

The PM and Ms Haydon smiled and greeted Ms Tame, but there was no visible reaction to the incendiary statement on her shirt." https://michaelwest.com.au/from-side-eye-to-show-stopper-as-tame-stuns-pm/

Self censoring will never not be jarring. Fuck censoring yourself.

Rupert Murdock is Australian and owns all the worldwide right wing news rags. Saying Fuck Murdock to the Australian pm seems like speaking a raw opinion to power with no fucks to give

And I thought she was awesome when she refused to smile to Scummo.

Oh my God look at that kind of decisive action. I haven't seen such a powerful statement since Gelinda the good witch just changed her name to just Glinda those rich people that didn't respond at all to this must be shaking in their boots as they get called out by Grace Tame who is mostly there as a bare bones apology for the systems meant to protect her being directly responsible for her abuse as a way to save face.

Look good on her for not letting them have the simple easy photoshoot for vapid political wins. It's just annoying that this is still treated as some huge action when the people it's meant to call out are basically non-impacted at all. It's a shame this is as far as a punch they can get for being monsters.
