Isn't it a tad ironic that Ray doesn't want the intrusion in his private life but doesn't seem to mind getting into others when it suits?
No, not really.
That is his occupation. That's like saying its ironic a soldier wants to shoot the enemy but not be shot himself and for the most part Hadley is shooting dirtbags and pollies. Sometimes he gets it wrong though.
You don't get his rating with out a polarizing personality. He should expect scrutiny and intrusion no doubt but I can understand him fighting back. Who wouldn't?
Whether he is depressed or not who knows but a public family break up where the missus hooks up with somebody is a relatively similar area can't be easy on him. I'll respect him for being Australia's number one voice against paedophiles and weak sentencing for repeat offenders regardless of his wrong doing here because the two don't even compare in terms of importance.
This is just uninteresting gossip.
Might add, although through sheer speculation, I highly doubt neither he nor his ex-wife have been blameless in their drawn out marriage breakdown either in public or behind closed doors. From memory they have reconciled more than once previously.
I understand he is in the wrong here but its an ordinary situation for all involved, hard to judge the parties on rumours and heresy.
