Stan Grant FASSA (born 30 September 1963) is an Australian (Wiradjuri, Kamilaroi and Dharawal[2][3]) journalist, writer and radio and television presenter, since the 1990s.

[6] In 2007 he took on the role of co-presenter of the one-hour 6.30 pm SBS World News Australia bulletin, and also presented ABC Local Radio's Indigenous programme Speaking Out.

Based in CNN's new Abu Dhabi news-gathering and production centre, Grant covered stories from both the UAE and the surrounding region[7] and hosted the programme Prism.

[10] In 2015 Grant took part in a public debate at the IQ2 stage of The Ethics Centre,[11] with immigration lawyer Pallavi Sinha, Herald Sun columnist Rita Panahi and actor Jack Thompson to argue for or against the topic "Racism is destroying the Australian dream".

[12] The debate itself was a finalist in the United Nations Association of Australia Media Peace Awards for "its role in stimulating public awareness and understanding".

[17] The program was cancelled after 10 months, ending on 29 November 2018, after which time he took up the new role of Indigenous and International Affairs Analyst with the ABC,[18] concurrently with a professorship at Griffith University.

[22] This was notable as the ABC reporters working in China, Bill Birtles and Mike Smith, were removed from China by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation on advice from the Australian Security and Intelligence Organization, Australia's chief spy agency; the evacuation of the reporters led to a short diplomatic standoff.

[26] In May 2023, Grant resigned from the show after an escalation of racial abuse that occurred following his participation in the ABC's coverage of King Charles III's coronation.

[19][20] In April 2020 he was appointed Vice-Chancellor's Chair of Australian-Indigenous Belonging[34] at Charles Sturt University,[35][36] a position he still holds as of October 2022[update].

[39] In 2024, he completed his PhD at Charles Sturt University, with a dissertation titled "Yindyamarra as theology: identity, history, violence, faith and reconciliation.

[45][46] Publications (selected): Grant wrote, and features in, the full-length documentary film The Australian Dream, released in 2019,[58] the title of which echoes that of his address at the IQ2 debate.

Grant ruled out running for the National Party of Australia and said he was not "ideologically bound to the left" and that he admired people with the "small-l liberal" approach".

[61] In mid-March, nine weeks before the 2019 Australian federal election, Grant was asked by the Prime Minister Scott Morrison to a meeting at Kirribilli House.

[1][68] A well publicised marriage break-up in 2000, prior to the Sydney Olympic Games, resulted from his starting a relationship with fellow TV journalist Tracey Holmes.
