Excerpt of article. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has apologised if his labelling of 2021 Australian of the Year and child sexual abuse survivor Grace Tame as "difficult" was misinterpreted, saying he was referring to her "difficult life". He made the comment when asked to give a one-word response to a rapid-fire list of people and news topics as part of a word association game at the Future Victoria conference, presented by the Herald Sun newspaper and the Victorian Chamber of Commerce. "If there was any misinterpretation, then I certainly apologise," Mr Albanese told reporters. "She has had a difficult life and that was what I was referring to. What Grace Tame has done is turn that difficult experience that she had into being a strong advocate for others."
