Alan Jones only does things for his personal gain. He is an egotistical, agenda-driven nutcase. OK, he supports a charity or two - but does more damage to Australia than almost anyone else through his bigoted, uneducated ranting and political bias. He’s almost Trump-like in his ability to turn anything into a “its better because I was involved with it” moment.
“Heart of gold”, you say? Rude, small-minded right-wing attack dog, say I.
Was attacking Australia’s first female prime minister Julia Gillard, and suggesting that her recently deceased father had “died of shame because of her” acting with this so-called “heart of gold”? Whatever side of politics you sit on, that sort of thing is despicably low...
He also incited his attack-dogs to physically intimidate a female friend of mine who is a high-level political reporter, while at one of his “ditch the witch” rallies, at about the same time. Why? Because she happened to write something negative about him.
The ABC’s publishing division were going to publish Jonestown themselves, until he called in his mates in the Liberal party to put pressure on them to bin it. My company at the time stepped in and published it instead.
If he is involved with rugby league on any level, it will be to further his own cause in some way.
