ABC staff walk off the job in solidarity with Q&A host Stan Grant as he quits the show over racist trolling: ‘I stand with Stan’
ABC staff have walked off the job in solidarity with Q&A host Stan Grant and in a protest against racism.
Dozens of staff at the national broadcaster gathered outside its Ultimo, Sydney headquarters at outside Parliament House, Canberra, about 2.30pm on Tuesday.
ABC staffer Dee Jefferson confirmed in a tweet that workers would be staging a walk-out.
‘ABC staff are walking out in support of Stan this afternoon,’ she wrote.
‘Stan’s experience of racist abuse is shared by so many colleagues. Listening is the smallest part of what we can do to help clean up this mess.’
Fellow ABC host Patricia Karvelas tweeted this afternoon saying ‘#istandwithstan #werejectracism’.
