SHOULD YOU HAVE TO SMILE WHEN MEETING THE PM?
This week Grace Tame was put under scrutiny when she didn't smile or look the Prime Minister in the eye at an event held to honour inspiring Australians.
Grace Tame is an Australian activist and advocate for survivors of sexual assault. Tame was named 2021 Australian of the year!
The most heated Episode yet. Jonno feels strongly that she should have been more respectful and in general we are going backward in this area. He feels the Prime Minister and the office deserved better treatment. Sarah wholeheartedly disagrees. And feels she behaved fine and was making a point. And that Jonno is overreacting.
Grace Tame was groomed when she was 15 and then repeatedly sexually abused by her 58-year-old teacher. Although the school was found to have had multiple opportunities to intervene, the abuse did not stop until Tame reported her attacker. He was arrested and convicted of the offense of "maintaining a sexual relationship with someone under the age of 17", a crime, Tame argued, that needed to be renamed as in other jurisdictions due to its misleading use of the word "relationship" for abuse. He was also sentenced for possessing child pornography. In sentencing Tame's abuser, Justice Helen Wood said Tame had been "particularly vulnerable given her mental state" and that her abuser "knew her psychological condition was precarious" and had "betrayed the trust of the child's parents and the school's trust in an utterly blatant fashion.”
