Stan Grant's ABC Coronation coverage tanks, page-65

O-oh

A monarchist group has threatened legal action against the ABC over its coverage of King Charles III's Coronation.

The public broadcaster aired a two-hour special on Saturday that focused heavily on the impact colonisation had on Indigenous Australians and people of colour.

The Drum's Julia Baird and Jeremy Fernandez hosted the segment with Q&A host Stan Grant, Australian Republic Movement co-chair Craig Foster among the panel.

Liberal MP and monarchist Julian Leeser and Wiradjuri and Wailwan woman Teela Reid also made an appearance.

The program was aired at 5pm, just three hours before the Coronation of King Charles III was broadcast in Australia.

The coverage drew criticism from monarchist group the Australian Monarchist League, 3AW radio host Neil Mitchell and a number of Liberal MPs and ABC viewers.

The AML released a statement revealing it was preparing to file a legal complaint to the public broadcaster's board.
