The ABC’s Ombudsman, Fiona Cameron, has cleared the national broadcaster of breaching editorial standards over its Coronation coverage. The ABC received more than 1,800 complaints about a panel discussion on the monarchy’s ties to the extermination of Indigenous people during its pre-crowning TV coverage. Some claimed the panel – which included outgoing Q+A host/Wiradjuri man Stan Grant – breached the national broadcaster’s editorial standards. But Cameron said the views presented by the panel were “legitimate and newsworthy” while also acknowledging that the timing may have been “jarring” for some viewers. Last Friday, Grant said he was going on indefinite leave following a barrage of racist abuse, and yesterday police charged a Sydney man for allegedly making online threats against the presenter. He was granted bail and is due to appear in court next Wednesday.
