Stan Grant sends a message to his abusers in last Q+A before stepping away

ABC  

Q+A host Stan Grant has spoken directly to his abusers during an emotional final appearance before stepping away from the program to help mend his mental health. Last week, Grant announced he was stepping away from hosting Q+A and accused the ABC of "institutional failure", saying the organisation did not publicly defend him amid a storm of racist abuse. On Monday's episode of Q+A, Grant said he was not stepping away from the show because of racism or social media, he was stepping away because he thinks the media is the problem. ABC hopes Grant will return to Q+A Earlier on Monday, ABC News director Justin Stevens said the door would be open for Grant to return to Q+A.
