Social Comment
Frame is a regular commentator on radio, notably the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), on military history, church history and social matters.
Frame was the only Anglican bishop to support the Government of Australia in its support for the March 2003 invasion of Iraq. On 18 June 2004 he recanted that support in a newspaper article titled "Forgive me, I was wrong on Iraq" in which he said, in part, "... in the absence of any clear mitigation, there is no alternative to concluding that the March 2003 invasion was neither just nor necessary ... I continue to seek God's forgiveness for my complicity in creating a world in which this sort of action was ever considered to be necessary."

Famous quotes containing the words social and/or comment:
“Night City was like a deranged experiment in Social Darwinism, designed by a bored researcher who kept one thumb permanently on the fast-forward button. Stop hustling and you sank without a trace, but move a little too swiftly and you’d break the fragile surface tension of the black market; either way, you were gone ... though heart or lungs or kidneys might survive in the service of some stranger with New Yen for the clinic tanks.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“The squabbles of philandering Zeus and shrewish Hera are the Greeks’ comment on married life.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
