Stan Grant: Top Australian TV host steps down after enduring racist abuse

One of Australia's highest-profile TV hosts, Stan Grant, has stood down from presenting a prime-time show after receiving "relentless" racist abuse.

Grant said he had always endured racism in his career but it had escalated after he covered the King's Coronation for national broadcaster ABC.

The veteran Aboriginal journalist had spoken during the coverage about the impact of colonisation on his people.

The ABC has called for the "grotesque" abuse against the host to stop.
