Stan Grant

Yindyamarra is a Wiradjuri way of being at one with the world and God. It calls us to be quiet, gentle and respectful. Yindyamarra is an antidote to an unforgiving age of anger. Stan Grant eschews politics for a way of being in place that leads to meaningful reconciliation and love. In a world that forces us to pick sides, wage identity wars and reduces love to reality television Stan says we can build a better world by asking where we are not who we are.

For more than 40 years and reporting from more than 60 countries, Stan Grant has offered his insights and inquiries to Australia and the world over through his journalism, writing and as a radio and television presenter. He is one of Australia’s most awarded journalists and as a Wiradjuri, Kamilaroi and Dharrawal man, Stan has used his voice and position to advocate for the rights and prosperity of First Nations people. He is the best-selling author of seven critically acclaimed books centred on themes pertaining to identity, belonging, nationhood and covering subject areas such as racial studies, Australian Indigenous history, political philosophy and geo-politics. With his resignation as host of ABC’s program Q&A, Stan has modelled what it is to lead with wisdom in these times. With the clarity that our political and media cultures are toxic, Stan urges us all to meet division, polarisation and hate with the spirit of love.
