Someone else that I vaguely know. We are from the same city. In fact, we grew up literally a few streets apart, as kids, not that I knew her then. I can't tell you how weird the whole thing has been, for me... Australian of the Year, for 2021, Grace fucking Tame. (archive.is)

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...
