Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi has taken aim at the lack of diversity on the ABC’s board in a letter, seen by Crikey, to Communications Minister Michelle Rowland.
On August 15, Faruqi wrote to Rowland and called the “lack of diversity on the ABC board … unacceptable”.
“The ABC board is completely and embarrassingly bereft of diversity,” Faruqi wrote.
“It has no doubt contributed to the poor treatment of high profile First Nations journalist Stan Grant and journalists of colour like Antoinette Lattouf.
