Toxic Tame shows grace is no longer a virtue

I never expected class from Grace Tame. She was too young and thoughtless to handle being Australian of the Year. No, the real problem with her pathetic rudeness to Scott Morrison is that it was cheered by so many people - especially women. Time we talked about toxic femininity.

I’ve seen toddlers with better manners than Tame showed Prime Minister Scott Morrison at an event to mark the end of her term as Australian of the Year.

She glowered at him. She pulled faces. She returned his politeness – and that of wife Jenny – with a contempt meant to be seen from the moon.

Pathetic, yet many people actually praised her rudeness.
