Prominent Indigenous journalist Stan Grant announced that, after Monday, he will step away from television hosting duties after viewers responded with racist abuse to his comments during King Charles III's coronation about historic Aboriginal dispossession.
Grant, a member of the Wiradjuri tribe of Indigenous Australians and former international correspondent for U.S.-based CNN, has been under fire since taking part in a panel discussion on the Australian Broadcasting Corp. ahead of the May 6 coronation ceremony in London. Topics included a push to have a president replace the British monarch as Australia’s head of state and Indigenous suffering from colonization.
