10:25 Former Australian of the Year sparks outrage
2021 Australian Of The Year Grace Tame has sent the media into a whirlwind over her controversial meeting with Prime Minister Scott Morrison in Canberra yesterday. The encounter took place at a morning tea for this year's finalists where Grace avoided eye contact with the Prime Minister and refused to smile for the photo op. As the photos emerged online, a flurry of scathing opinion pieces and harshly written social media posts were directed her way. Amy Remeikis is The Guardian Australia's political reporter and joins us to explain the situation.
