In this special solo episode of Access Granted, Lowanna Grant reflects on the significance of National Reconciliation Week 2026 and this year's theme, All In.
Drawing on her experiences as a First Nations journalist, Lowanna explores what Reconciliation really means in Australia today, why the responsibility for Reconciliation belongs to all Australians.
She discusses the ongoing impact of racism on First Nations people, the dangers of casual racism disguised as humour, the recent controversy surrounding a racist viral video and the abuse faced by Elders performing Welcome to Country ceremonies.
Lowanna also shares a personal perspective on the racism experienced by First Nations journalists, including the impact racism has had on her family through the experiences of her father, journalist Stan Grant.
While acknowledging the challenges, this episode also looks forward with hope, highlighting the importance of listening, learning, speaking up against racism and continuing the journey towards a more respectful and inclusive Australia.
