Here is the story so you don't have to guess what it is Bogarde is to lazy to post up Cheesy

Popular broadcaster Stan Grant will help lead the nation towards the constitutional recognition of Indigenous people.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Opposition Leader Bill Shorten have appointed Mr Grant, a Wiradjuri man and award-winning reporter, to the Referendum Council on constitutional recognition.

Mr Grant will replace Indigenous leader Patrick Dodson, who has resigned to enter the Senate for Labor.

Mr Turnbull and Mr Shorten will announce the appointment in a rare joint press release, Fairfax Media can reveal.

"Mr Grant's extensive experience and commitment to constitutional recognition and Indigenous affairs will be invaluable in the role as a member of the Referendum Council," the leaders will say.

The council was established last year to lead national consultations and advise the government on how best to proceed with the planned referendum to maximise its chances for success.

Other members of the council include Indigenous leaders Mick Gooda, Noel Pearson and Galarrwuy Yunupingu. It also includes former politicians such as Amanda Vanstone, Kristina Keneally and Natasha Stott Despoja.

The appointment comes two months after Mr Grant revealed he was considering a career in politics.

It's understood he has had discussions with both the Liberal and Labor parties but is yet to decide whether to run for preselection for either side. He has said he is not "ideologically bound to the left".

He was reportedly approached to run for Liberal preselection in the marginal Labor seat of Parramatta. He publicly ruled out running for the Nationals after being approached by Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce.

Mr Grant started considering a run for Parliament after the overwhelming response to a speech on racism he gave last year.

In the speech delivered at the IQ2 Racism Debate in October, Grant declared that racism is "killing the Australian dream".

The speech found its way online and quickly went viral on social media, attracting comparisons to Martin Luther King.

"The Australian dream - we sing of it and we recite it in verse: 'Australians all let us rejoice for we are young and free'," he said in the speech.

"But my people die young in this country - we die 10 years younger than average Australians - and we are far from free."

Mr Grant has worked as a political reporter, news anchor and foreign correspondent over his illustrious 30-year career. The Walkley Award-winner currently works for Sky News, NITV and the Guardian Australia.

Good Stan, there is soon to be a vacancy in Bronnie's old electorate - run for that. You and Mal can move each other to tears, and helicopter rides are part of the package.
