Stan Grant: watch ABC host's impassioned Q+A leaving speech: 'I feel like I’m part of the problem’

The ABC host Stan Grant gave a powerful speech at the end of Monday night's episode of Q+A, days after announcing he would be standing down from the Australian TV show due to 'racist abuse'. 'To those who have abused me and my family, I would just say if your aim was to hurt me, well, you've succeeded, and I'm sorry,' he said.

Grant had said racism against him had escalated after he spoke on the ABC about the impact of colonialism in the run-up to King Charles III's coronation. The ABC had appointed Grant as the full-time presenter of the weekly flagship discussion program in August 2022, a year after Hamish Macdonald quit and was replaced by rotating hosts.
