1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: Already and this is this is the Daily OS. 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 2: This is the Daily ohs oh, now it makes sense. 3 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 3: Good morning and welcome to the Daily OS. It's Tuesday, 4 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 3: the nineteenth of November. 5 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: I'm Zara, I'm Sam. 6 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 3: Yesterday morning news broke that well known broadcaster Alan Jones 7 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 3: had been arrested at his home in Sydney over alleged 8 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 3: indecent assaults. Later in the day, police announced that he'd 9 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 3: been charged with twenty four offenses. Now, this was a 10 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 3: really big story because of who Alan Jones is and 11 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 3: the power he's held in both media and political spheres 12 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 3: in Australia for the past few decades. 13 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 1: I think the identity of Alan Jones and the power 14 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: that he holds is really at the heart of this 15 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: story and why he's been such a permanent fixture in 16 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: Australian media and political circles for so long. For anyone 17 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: who is a quite across it, can you give me 18 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: a sense of who Alan Jones is? 19 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, So when I sat down to write this podcast, 20 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 3: I thought I knew a lot about Alan Jones's career. 21 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 3: You know, you're told these stories when you enter the 22 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 3: industry about someone that had been there for years in 23 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 3: years and years, but it turns out that he's had 24 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 3: quite a unique career trajectory. So he's not someone that 25 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 3: entered journalism straight out of university and then stayed there 26 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 3: his whole career. Alan Jones, who right now is in 27 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 3: his early eighties, he actually started his career as an 28 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 3: English teacher and a rugby teacher at King's so the 29 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 3: King's School in Sydney. 30 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: Which is a really prestigious private school. 31 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. And then in the mid seventies he moved 32 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 3: into the political realm. He worked as a speech writer 33 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 3: and then ran for pre selection in the seat of Damnero, 34 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 3: which he subsequently lost, but that didn't deter him, and 35 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 3: Alan Jones later ran for two different seats for the 36 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 3: Liberal Party. He lost both of those as well, but 37 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 3: he stayed in those it's kind of political spheres and 38 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 3: later became a speechwriter for the then Liberal Prime Minister 39 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 3: Malcolm Fraser. Then there was a bit of a switch 40 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 3: up in his career and Alan Jones went back into 41 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 3: the sporting world where he became the coach of the 42 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,679 Speaker 3: Wallabies in nineteen eighty three. But then he moved into 43 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 3: broadcasting and it's there that Alan Jones's profile really began 44 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 3: to grow, so he became a radio host on Sydney 45 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 3: talkback radio stations to YUI and later two GB, and 46 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 3: for decades he hosted those shows. He also regularly wrote 47 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 3: opinion columns for news corps many newspapers and had a 48 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,239 Speaker 3: dedicated show on Sky News up until twenty twenty one. 49 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: And those shows that he was involved with, whether it 50 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: be on radio, television or his working print, it did 51 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: incredibly well. He was a very popular host. And yeah, 52 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: some of those radio numbers were huge. 53 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he held that number one spot for 54 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 3: so so long, and so many politicians had their run, 55 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 3: you know, facing off against Alan Jones on TWOGB. It 56 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 3: was almost this rite of passage, I guess. 57 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: But then I think the reason why a lot of 58 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: our listeners might be familiar with the name Alan Jones 59 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: is not necessarily because of his media career. But when 60 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: he's in the media. 61 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 3: Himself, he certainly made and continues to make a lot 62 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 3: of headlines himself. There are a number of controversies that 63 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 3: Alan Jones himself was embroiled in, and he was a 64 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 3: shock jock for decades, so you know, it was almost 65 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 3: his trade to say shocking things. But I do want 66 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 3: to just zero in, I guess on two of the 67 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 3: more better known attacks that really defined the latter part 68 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 3: of Alan Jones's media career. So the first was an 69 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 3: attack he made against Australia's first and only female Prime Minister, 70 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 3: Julia Gillard. So back in twenty twelve, he claimed Gillard 71 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 3: should be put in a chaff bag and dumped at sea. 72 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 3: He also suggested that her father, who at that time 73 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 3: had recently passed, that he had died of shame. He 74 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 3: later publicly apologized for those comments. But now, when people 75 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 3: retrospectively look back on the Gillard prime ministership, those comments 76 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 3: do feature very prominently and a lot of the kind 77 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 3: of discourse around gender that emerged during that. 78 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: Time, including her own analysis of how media treated her 79 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: during that period. 80 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, But that wasn't the only female leader of 81 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 3: a country that Alan Jones targeted. More recently, he suggested 82 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 3: that former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison should have shoved 83 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 3: a sock down the throat of former New Zealand Prime 84 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 3: Minister Jasindra Dern. So that was in twenty nineteen. At 85 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 3: the time, he also said that he hoped Scott Morrison 86 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 3: quote gets tough here with a few backhanders, and that 87 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 3: he goes for the throat. The Australian Media Regulator AKMA 88 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 3: eventually found that Alan Jones had breached broadcasting rules when 89 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 3: he said those things, and there was this real mass 90 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,359 Speaker 3: exodus of advertising partners from two GB in response to 91 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 3: the comments he had made about Justindra Durn. Perhaps you 92 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 3: know there. It's a really interesting analysis of how much 93 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 3: had changed, I guess since twenty twelve when those comments 94 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 3: were made about Julia Gillard to twenty nineteen when they 95 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 3: were made about Jacindra Adern. Alan Jones eventually wrote an 96 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 3: apology letter to Jasindra Adern and said on air that 97 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 3: he had made a mistake. 98 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: I think many would agree that the other big change 99 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: from twenty twelve to twenty nineteen was the fact that 100 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 1: advertisers started to pull their support from Alan Jones's program. 101 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: That happened in twenty nineteen. A year later, in twenty twenty, 102 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 1: Alan Jones stepped down from hosting his show onto GB. 103 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, he said at the time that that was due 104 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 3: to doctors' orders. But the Citney Morning Herald, who you know, 105 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 3: we'll get into it a little bit has written quite 106 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 3: a lot about Alan Jones. In an article, they said 107 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 3: that there was a commercial imperative for Alan Jones to 108 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 3: get off air because advertisers had continued to boycott his 109 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 3: show after the Arderne comments, and that it was becoming 110 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 3: commercially basically unviable for him to remain on air with 111 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 3: so many advertisers pulling away. 112 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: We'll be back with the d dive after this quick message. 113 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 1: So just to go back and recap, we have somebody 114 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: involved in the school system who then enters politics, and 115 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: then enters rugby, and then enters the media, makes controversial 116 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: comments part of his personality, and then steps down in 117 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. What's happened since then? 118 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 3: After retiring from radio, as he put it, Alan Jones 119 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 3: ended up joining a streaming news channel. It's called adh 120 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 3: TV and it essentially just hosts a range of conservative 121 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 3: political commentators, of which he was one of. His last 122 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 3: show on that channel, though, was in November of last year, 123 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 3: and that's an important date because a month later, in 124 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 3: December of last year, the City Morning Herald published its 125 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 3: first investigation into Alan Jones. Before we go on, though, 126 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 3: I do want to just say how interesting this is, 127 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 3: just as an aside about the Australian media market. Two GB, 128 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 3: which is of course the station Alan Jones hosted a 129 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 3: show on for so long, and the Cydny Morning Herald, 130 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 3: who ran this investigation into Alan Jones, are owned by 131 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 3: the same companies. So nine owns both two GB and 132 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 3: the Sydney Morning Herald, alongside of course a whole host 133 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 3: of different publications. But I thought that that's just an 134 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 3: interesting quirk to keep in mind. So in that investigation 135 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 3: that was first published in December twenty twenty three by 136 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,679 Speaker 3: The Sydney Morning Herald, journalist Kate McClymont alleged that Alan 137 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 3: Jones quote used his position of power to prey on 138 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 3: a number of young men indecently assaulting them, groping or 139 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 3: inappropriately touching them without consent. So that's a direct quote 140 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 3: from the article that went live almost a year ago. 141 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 3: The article went on to detail a whole host of 142 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 3: allegations made by a number of different men across a 143 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 3: really kind of long period of time. When McClymont actually 144 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 3: published that article, it did include a statement from Alan 145 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 3: Jones's legal team who said at the time, our client 146 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 3: denies ever having indecently assaulted the persons referred to in 147 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 3: your letter, and your suggestion that he has is scandalous, 148 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 3: grossly offensive and seriously defamatory of him. 149 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: So the article comes out and Alan Jones and his 150 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: legal team strongly deny claims in maintain his innocence. At 151 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: that point, there's no kind of follow on from law 152 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: enforcement or anything. But that's why we're talking about this today. 153 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, exactly. So yesterday morning we found out that 154 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 3: Alan Jones had been arrested at his home in Sydney 155 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 3: over allegations that he had indecently assaulted young men. Now, 156 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 3: a statement from police said that the state's Child Abuse 157 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 3: Squad had established a strike force earlier this year in 158 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 3: March to investigate a number of alleged indecent assaults and 159 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 3: sexual touching incidents between two thousand and one and twenty nineteen. 160 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 3: That's a direct quote from the New South Wales Police's 161 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 3: media release.
