Dan Bourchier

Dan Bourchier holds an esteemed place in the city’s landscape. He is responsible for delivering the nightly news bulletin for the national broadcaster, a position he undertakes as a proud Indigenous gay man. Dan discusses ABC Canberra’s ground-breaking decision last year to deliver an indigenous welcome on the evening news, as well as his personal reflections on the same-sex marriage laws and what it means for him and his partner Karl—both emotionally-charged topics. The Canberrans is a video series and podcast produced by Newcast Studios in collaboration with HerCanberra, Lonsdale St. Studio and Salon Canberra.
