[hand to earpiece] …well I guess we'll see how much SA Labor wants to copy the Vic Liberals on #defo loans or if SA taxpayers will end up footing the bill…
…more than they already are, yes, that's implied…

I have been viciously sledged by @camwilson as knowing stuff about FOI and I shall be thinking very hard about #defo law in response.

The accusations alluded to here are pretty wild. One for the real #defo heads.

CW: Content warning: sexual assault, Alan Jones
How alleged paedophile Alan Jones has been protected by the old media for decades
https://kangaroocourtofaustralia.com/2023/12/09/how-the-old-media-have-protected-alleged-paedophile-alan-jones-for-decades/This article by Shane Dowling in Kangaroo Court of Australia presents an extremely lengthy series of reported events by Alan Jones and and allegations against him. It also shows that many people in the media have known about Jones and covered-up his problematic behaviour.
For example: in the 1970s, Alan Jones was grooming schoolboys and sending them love-letters when he was a teacher at The Kings School. This was revealed in the book, "Jonestown" by Chris Masters. He was an investigative journalist for the ABC but the ABC refused to publish due to legal threats, so Chris Masters had to go to a different publisher.#AusPol #KateMcClymont #ChrisMasters #AlanJones #Defo #Defamation #KangarooCourtOfAustralia #OldMedia #ABC

CW: Content warning: sexual assault, Alan Jones
‘He’d go the grope’: Alan Jones accused of indecently assaulting young men
https://www.smh.com.au/national/he-d-go-the-grope-alan-jones-accused-of-indecently-assaulting-young-men-20231205-p5epai.htmlThis article by Kate McClymont is not easy to read. It's an extraordinary account of the allegations against Alan Jones of sexual assaults against multiple people over many years.
Brave of people to come forward with this information, and some gusty reporting by Kate McClymont. It's fair to say the newspaper would have gotten everything checked-over by lawyers before publishing this article and deciding they're up for a tough legal fight.

Alan Jones's lawyers taking 'first steps' towards defamation proceedings over indecent assault allegations
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-12-07/alan-jones-denies-indecent-assault-allegations/103200252Radio shock-jock, Alan jones is lawyering-up to sling a defo charge at Nine Newspapers and investigative journalist, Kate McClymont. They've revealed credible allegations that Alan Jones indecently assaulted four young men by groping or kissing them while he was in the nadir (RWNJs would say peak) of his radio career. It's another case of high-profile men acting badly, and reacting by using the courts as a weapon by countering with defamation claims.
You may recall that Alan Jones is a foul-mouthed misogynist and all-round awful person.
Jones has been called-out by regulators for repeatedly performing cash-for-comment: on-air fraud where he made favourable comments about companies such as Telstra, Qantas, Optus, Foxtel, Mirvac, and major banks without telling listeners he was being paid by them.
In 2005, Alan Jones encouraged violence and vilified Middle-Eastern people, saying "Come to Cronulla this weekend to take revenge". He helped to precipitate the Cronulla Riots.
Alan Jones' sexism and politically-motivated slurs included saying Prime Minister Julia Gillard was a liar, and that her father had "died of shame". He encouraged misogynistic violence against the Lord Mayor of Sydney, Clover Moore, by saying "Put her in the same chaff bag as Julia Gillard and throw them both out to sea". Of course, he said favourable things about Tony Abbott in the same breath.
More recently, Alan Jones has been a COVID-minimiser, and a long-time climate-change denier.
Lovely chap. I get the impression his colleagues at the radio station and in political circles knew about it and closed-ranks to protect Alan Jones.
