This is exceptionally murky territory, for me, here. Even "dangerous", in some sense.
This is why I didn't post about this, here or anywhere else, last year, when Grace was named "Australian of the Year", even though I thought about it. Because my... Connection, to Grace, is so close that I don't even want to go into it.
We're not friends, but it is about as close as you can come to knowing someone, without, uhh, really not being able to say anything. Put it this way, my "connection" to Grace, throughout my life, is closer than the other girl I mentioned the other day. So... This is a tough one. And I don't want anyone else, shared between Grace and I, to be exposed, so I really can't say anything else about that.
So, then... Grace was originally, legally known as "Jane Doe", because of a state law that prevented her from speaking out against the teacher who abused her, at school. Grace successfully fought to have that law overturned (I think her legal "helper" was a woman called Nina Funnel, who is worth a look in herself), and voila, she has been all over the media ever since...
Now, I initially supported Grace, in that fight, because I was convinced the law was archaic and immoral at best, and downright despicable at worst... And also because I know the woman who fought to have the abusive paedophile banned from the Uni campus (yeah, that happened), very well...
Before her court case, but after the "years of abuse" (which I'm not going to debate. It definitely happened. That much we know.), Grace Tame moved to Los Angeles, which is, to say the least, exceptionally unusual for someone from this place, and in her circumstances...
While there, at a mutual friend's party, she was introduced to Spencer fucking Breslin, who she later married (supposedly). You'll know Spencer as a child actor, who was in the fucking Cat in the Hat movie, with Mike Myers, but also as the brother of ABIGAIL BRESLIN. A small fish? Certainly. But still very, very unusual for some random little "Australian girl" to suddenly "meet and marry"...
And then guess what? She meets Nina Funnel, and decides to fight this case. In doing so, she moves back to Tasmania, back to the her parents house in the suburb we both lived in as kids, and fucking leaves Spencer behind. She has not been back to the US since. No one knows what the fuck their marriage status is, or whether they are even still together. No one dares fucking ask. But that is exceptionally unusual, along with everything else...
So, maybe... Two years after Grace Tame wins her bloody court case, so that she can speak out against her "abuser", and after endless media appearances, and essentially becoming "feminist pin up girl" for this city (poor choice, since she loves wearing fucking men's clothes and the ugliest pantsuits imaginable), she is nominated for the Tasmanian Australian of the Year, for 2021...
I baulk at this. I had been becoming increasingly wary about the whole thing, by that point. And she is so... "Righteously angry", all the fucking time, that it seems like a fucking terrible idea, to give her this award. But nonetheless, I think, "There is no way she will actually win the big one."
But she does. She not only takes the state gong, but the overall Australian of the Year. This is not only unusual, it is unprecedented... The Young Australian of the Year, which I also know a couple of previous winners of, exists to reward people of Grace's, and my* age group. IF you are under, I think 35, you are not supposed to win the Australian of the Year. You win the youth version. Same with this year's awardee, Dylan Alcott, but that's another story...
Thus, for Grace to win that..? That's not meant to happen, and could only have happened with direct political interference. Why? Oh gee, I wonder if it could be because it "just so happened" to coincide with revelations of "sexual harassment" in parliament, and by various MPs, that came out literally in the weeks prior...
Gee, seems like a pretty MASSIVE coincidence, doesn't it??
So yeah, she one the award, and I truly begin to... Realise that something is very "off", here...
Grace's behaviour, on that night, the day afterwards, and ever since, has been nothing short of immature and appalling...
That's not some sort of personal vendetta. I don't like her, I make no bones about that. But you can literally verify it for yourself, if you want, both in that article, the comments and elsewhere...
The Daily Mail has a number of stories on the behaviour of Ms Tame. You don't have to look very fucking far.
And yet, she's a media daaaahhhling. I went to the cricket, in that same suburb that I mentioned, and they literally interviewed her, on the big screen, and the TV broadcast, while we were there, to subject us to her poisonous views. She continues to act, and talk, like some "ocker" bloke (which is fucking hilarious, given we have the same background), while at the same time behaving like the petulant, spoiled, damaged child that she clearly still is, inside...
Apparently she has her own eponymous "Foundation", now. Pals with the Labor leader. Free tickets to see the "new" Australian of the Year play his shitty wheelchair tennis finals match. It's all very fucking weird...
Not quite Thunberg level weird (apparently Grace's dad was an Australian state-level cricketer! So she told us, to seem "relevant", while then claiming she "was an experienced cricketer from childhood on", which is literally not true), though she DOES still live with her parents, here... But yeah, still very weird.
It's been an odd fucking year or so, with this going on, and swirling around people I know, let me tell you that much...
She's been doing this sort of shit for longer than she has been Australian of the Year, though...
It's partly why I'm so wary about the whole thing, lol. Because she's the kind of psycho who may very well end up genuinely killing someone, which, uhh, is I guess kind of your point...
Because I'm fairly sure Grace will likely fade into irrelevance, as years go by... She's way too... Unpalatable, to continue to be their "poster girl", forever.
Though honestly, she's clearly so fucking unhinged and damaged, I think it's more likely that she'll just... Pop herself, if anything, in the end.
You know about Daisy Coleman (and Audrie), I assume..? She's outlived them both, with her righteous anger over what we're told happened...
But nah, I'll be gone, soon. I really cannot live in this place much longer, Grace insanity or no Grace insanity...
Shit's fucked.
Although it is actually quite similar to the whole Daisy Coleman affair, just with a very different... Community reaction, in the longer run. Different sized town, I suppose. But the similarities in the behaviour of the perpetual victims, in each case, and the media sob stories, also in each case, are a bit... Off-putting.
It's like a self-perpetuating cycle: crime >> media >> develops victimhood complex >> more media >> slowly loses mind, and grip on sanity (and in Daisy's case, fucks up her entire body) >> more media > (we are here) > the inevitable...

You fucked her in the ass we get it
Haha maybe. Maybe back in the day.
Now? She'd probably bite my dick off or something, to be honest, lol...
If I even got that close, at this point.
u/TheImpossible1, this article is for you, buddy...
I think it crystallises everything into a nutshell pretty damn well.
I just wish I wasn't so damn close to the action, in this case... Again.
Haha this is gold. Definitely on brand, dude.
This is Grace Tame's latest antics, which "inspired" the article, btw: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10437701/Divisive-Australian-Year-Grace-Tame-looks-furious-meets-Scott-Morrison.html#comments

Yep, I saw that article.
What about embittered ex-leaders..?

True. Perhaps sooner than that, even:

Horrible.
Haha I would perhaps have posted the text, but I feel like I've said enough about this already... :-/
I'm far too close to the subject matter to be impartial on this, unfortunately...
Yup, I did, don't worry!
I had the same problem this morning, actually...
But anyway, yes, I did read it! See above.
