Grace Tame's brutal joke

Our guest on the Briefing today is Grace Tame – former Australian of the Year and author of a new memoir: The Ninth Life of a Diamond Miner.

In her brand new book, Grace has told her story of being a victim of child sexual abuse in full, but for the first time we also get to know her very dark sense of humour.

"One of my favorite jokes to make about the perpetrator who abused me is that he is like pedophile starter pack. You know, like he is a Catholic child-sexual abusing school teacher who wears New Balance 1080s and he plays the organ."

In today’s Briefing, Tom interviews Grace about her life, her campaign and how she manages to find humour in light of everything she’s been through.

The Ninth Life of a Diamond Miner is out now.
