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:
“[In early adolescence] she becomes acutely aware of herself as a being perceived by others, judged by others, though she herself is the harshest judge, quick to list her physical flaws, quick to undervalue and under-rate herself not only in terms of physical appearance but across a wide range of talents, capacities and even social status, whereas boys of the same age will cite their abilities, their talents and their social status pretty accurately.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
“The squabbles of philandering Zeus and shrewish Hera are the Greeks’ comment on married life.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
