Former Australian of the Year Grace Tame has slammed Scott Morrison for his apology to victims of toxic workplace culture in parliament, labelling the speech a “stunt”.
The Prime Minister, Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese, and Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce issued a statement of acknowledgement to victims of sexual harassment and bullying in Parliament House on Tuesday.
Brittany Higgins was among the seven women who were present in the gallery, and received a special mention from both Mr Morrison and Mr Albanese for her bravery in coming forward to share her story.
Her close friend Ms Tame was not present but took to Twitter, saying: “How about some proactive, preventative measxjmtzywures and not just these performative, last-minute bandaid electioneering stunts?”
