Grace Tame sparked a media storm on her final day as Australian Of The Year after giving Scott Morrison a frosty reception while arriving at an event for the 2022 nominees.

Ms Tame received the honour last year for being a vocal advocate for victims of sexual abuse.

She has been a critic of the Prime Minister for not doing enough to stamp out sexual assault and sexist behaviour at Parliament House.

Ms Tame met Mr Morrison and his wife Jenny outside the lodge on Tuesday, shaking the PM’s hand without meeting his gaze before standing next to him with a stern expression while Mr Morrison smiled for the cameras.

Steve Van Aperen, a body language expert known as The Human Lie Detector, said Ms Tame’s reaction left little to the imagination.

“I think her body language spoke volumes,” he said.
