Indigenous Australian journalist Stan Grant is stepping down from his role as host for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s (ABC) Q&A program following claims of ongoing racial abuse.

Grant said he received a stream of abuse and criticism after he was invited to contribute to the broadcaster’s coverage of the coronation of King Charles III in early May.
