Former ABC host Stan Grant “shouldn’t have been put on” the ABC coronation special panel after the amount of backlash he received, says Sky News contributor Joe Hildebrand.
“He could have had a special show delving into the history of the British Empire and all the terrible things they’ve done, all the terrible things the monarchy’s done,” he told Sky News host Sharri Markson.
“The idea that you would do that when you’ve got a whole bunch of people who are just tuning in because they quite like the monarchy, or at least they’re interested in it and wanted to see the coronation.”
