The 27-year-old advocate for survivors of sexual assault arrived at the 2022 Australian of the Year Finalists Morning Tea on Tuesday.
She was seen xjmtzywlooking unimpressed as the Prime Minister and his wife Jenny stood for photos with other people as she waited to enter the event.
“Hello Grace,” the Prime Minister was then heard saying.
“G’day,” she responded.
“How are you going? Congratulations on the engagement,” Mr Morrison continued.
“Thank you,” Ms Tame said, not making eye contact with the Prime Minister.
She then smiled at Jenny who said something that couldn’t be heard.
Ms Tame then appeared visibly uncomfortable in a photo next to the Prime Minister.
She didn’t say anything once the photos were taken before walking off.
She had earlier tweeted an image about her two days in Canberra: “On second thoughts let’s not go to Canberra. It’s a silly place,” it said.
