Australia's prime minister has apologised for calling a former Australian of the Year and sexual abuse survivor "difficult", saying it was only in reference to the hardships she has faced, BBC reported.
During a one-word response game, Anthony Albanese used the adjective to describe Grace Tame, who was named the 2021 Australian of the Year for her advocacy for child sexual abuse survivors.
Tame, 31, said the description was "misogynist's code for a woman who won't comply. History tends to call her 'courageous'."
