Mr Jones suggested Ardern should have a ‘sock shoved down her throat’ after she said Australia needs to answer to the Pacific on climate change.
The host issued a statement on air after sending a letter to apologise, saying he "did not intend to suggest any violence" towards her. The comment sparked a social media storm forcing Jones to explain his comments. Image: News Corp Australia

Alan Jones’s public apology would have been pushed by 2GB because advertisers are pulling out in droves. Obviously the power of the dollar speaks volumes .
What a beat up ...
MayneReport Skynews FB post replies re Jones apology show the influence he has. It’s appalling, but clearly he has followers, no doubt also fuelled by those paid to comment. He personally though has no integrity, no morals and no regard for how he contributes to perpetuating ingnorant views.
Jones is a dick but I’d apologise for nothing. Ardern is a mouthpiece for anything that’s popular.
geoffsmith55 He was again found to have been inciting the hatred that caused the riots. And he's encouraged physical violence against two female prime ministers. Media outlets need to stop him firing his abuse with their platforms... or they should be responsible for the outcomes / riots.
Pattern here. Make shock commentary, denial, misinterpreted, apologies and a new day starts. No consequences. Sack the fool
she should apologize for impersonating a pm
Too little, too late.
Mr Jones, Ardern in my humble opinion is all of what u believe🤢She's extremely fond of limelight, cameras, drooling journalists & thrives on hanging out with rich & famous. Ardern's a cringeworthy PM.Goofy to listen to, let alone watch..Thanks fellow Aussies thank u for ScoMo🇦🇺
Our country is beyond people like Jones. He is a divisive horrible person whose mantra is “ready fire aim”
Clayton’s apology. He should resign or be sacked. If that’s the best the conservative side can muster, no wonder they want the world to burn - they won’t live long enough to see their handiwork
What a pathetic excuse for a man Alan Jones is. His apologies are focused on his own interests!
Sky News garbage service trying to enable bully-boy bucketmouth to squirm his way out of another brainless squall. Jones is toxic and needs to be put out to pasture. Or sent to the knackers.
I wouldn’t. She should put a “ sock 🧦 in it”
Rugby league has a sin bin for players who transgress the rules A.Jones has violated the Rules of good manners on countless occasions he should be sidelined for 10 years
This is ridiculous….Allan clearly meant to say that Morrison should tell Arden 'to put a sock in it'...a general phrase used by everyone...
It's a tactic, not an apology
Can he please also apologise for the suit shown in the thumbnail, cheers
Who the hell does he think he is ,it has been said damage done she will be gracious, he should be dismissed the way he spoke about PM Gillard was the same and sky and 2GB873 still reward him
Oh so he's a 'Radio Broadcaster' when he's in the poo. But not a regular Sky guest/presenter. Jelly backed right wing Sky backing away lol.
And yet Skynews will continue to take no action against Alan Jones. Advertisers should be boycotting his show on your network as well. You can’t blame slpng_giants_oz for Skynews’ bigotry and misogyny.
Oh I'm sure he's *sorry* ... the sincerity must have been oozing into the microphone. Yet more bad behaviour from the bitter male pale and stale variety.
Alan Jones needs to be sacked.
Stand and Deliver: doesn’t matter the intent - once the vicious left are given an inch, they will take yards.....
Another one? There should never have been a first one. PR patchup.
I must have missed this new apology. BUT it’s too little to late. He has to go.
Tell that horse to go for a run and mine her own business
Never apologize to the spastic out raged mob..... Ever......
No, he issued a statement with more misogyny in it. No apology. And you are part of his support network of violent hatred against women.
Apologies................... and retires ?
Radio broadcaster and Sky News deplorable.
Until he does it again! He has an appalling track record which 2GB873 is supporting. I wonder how long their sponsors will support the Misogynist that is AlanJones
He messed up. Completely
Cummo apologised and still got sacked! Double standards!
Stop apologising, she was in the wrong with foreign interference,
have you sacked him from appearing on your channel yet? I guess not since his views seem to line up with the rest of the after dark morons you hire
Jones should stick his apology into a sock and stuff it down his throat.
geoffsmith55 “I’m sorry I’m losing advertisers”
If he made a mistake with his language and truly intended to say - put a sock it in - why didn't he correct it immediately. Because, he meant what he said.
And in a couple of months time Jones will standing with the PM at some function locked in mutual admiration, as if nothing has happened. It's time for him to go.
His apologies are worthless .. he needs to go
How can advertisers continue to support this disgraceful anti Australian bullying sexist misogynistic grub...so which companies like to associate themselves and their products with these traits?
Cant wait for this dinosaur to leave us.
It’s only because advertisers are leaving and nothing more
You can’t apologise for that Jones should be sacked
Didn’t he apologise when he said Julia Gillard should be drowned in a bag? Then apologised again when he said her dead father would be ashamed right after he died ? He’s not sorry, he’s just a yellow bellied coward that hides behind a microphone.
I love listening to A Jones views on things it makes me question a lot of things of course he should have just said 'put a sock in it '
You are just another bunch of apologists for Alan Jones. Isn't he still employed by your network?
HEADLINE NEWS: Male reveals what he’d like to do to a female who is out of his league.
Can no longer be bothered to note what Jones says, life is too short. No time for Sky or 2GB either. Will go out of my way to avoid any product advertised on either of these media channels.
You apologise and the sharks will see it as a weakness they won’t stop taking sneaky bites at.
It’s doesn’t matter how many apologies he made now, his hate filled speech has no place in our beautiful country skynews
Apology is not good enough, it needs to resign. Auspol
Alan Jones is scum, he needs to go
Apologies? Engage your brain before you open your mouth.
Any normal person on street would be sacked if threatened anybody is there double standards for media is there
Why does this nasty misogynist still have a job? He should have been sacked after what he said about Australia's first female PM. Now he's moved on to our neighbour's female PMs. How many chances do old mediocre white men get?
All Alan Jones is doing is trying to placate angry sponsors. it's about $$$. nothing more. he's not sorry and will do the same again and again. How a c*nt like this has such a loud voice in Australia's media shows just what a sh*t country we've become since about 1996.
He knows what he is doing but it will not work for him all the time.
LOL 'Radio Broadcaster..' You see what you did there? You extricated your entity from him. He is a PROFILE and TALKING HEAD. OWN HIM. AND OWN THIS DECISION.
Put a sock in it or put a sock down her throat is a “saying”. That is all it is! No wonder people are so unhappy. Picking at every single component all the time! I am sure Winston was wishing she would after her last statements!
Jonesys starting to get like those guys you avoid at bus stops. You know, the ones that walk really fast while raving into a transistor radio. So sad.
Bullshit I don't believe that be apologised it's fake news
It’s meaningless, like all the others. Sack him.
Sack him and book him into a clinic ASAP. 2GB873 smh 9NewsSyd theprojecttv annabelcrabb PatsKarvelas latingle InsidersABC 7NewsSydney nzherald radionz CheckpointRNZ theheraldsun annikasmethurst Qantas qantaswallabies MacquarieSport AllBlacks AirNZMedia auspol
Hard to understand why 2GB873 would continue to have this man on the air these days. Hard to look past his history & the damage he did to schoolboys
He’s only sorry because consumers are boycotting his sponsors. Your yappy pet poodle has been irrelevant for years, he’s now become a liability.
Really doesn’t matter how much you apologise , it’s never a heart felt apology , & enough is enough, you’ve proven you just say what you want without thinking of consequences, what happened to, put brain in gear before you open your mouth
I mean i agree with u guys but really? A sock shoved down her throat? Im not seeing the violence against women part. Pretty much saying 'put a sock in it'. he said shut up basically lmao
Put brain in gear before engaging mouth. JColeNC LeeCX65
MayneReport Too late big Al! The words are out! AlanJones
For Pete’s sake!!!! Sack Jones!
MayneReport Still not good enough
MayneReport Too little and far too late
Alan Jones, IMHO, is unfit to be on any media, TV, Radio, or Newspaper. This was not his first such failure in common decency. He can act nice but cannot be nice. His apology is hollow and his decency is absent.
And the next he will apologise and the time after that and the time after that. False apologise from a false human
why? cant you be yourself and call it as you see it on issues that are very trying by that madwoman lol
Anyway. Which strong female will Jones urge violence or death towards NEXT? And always remember that his employers condone and encourage him to do this. Law suits/payouts are a factored in cost of doing business for these filthy cretins - Sky News and 2GB.
No don't there is no need!
He was right. The Hi Priestess should take her people back to NZ and stay there.
He's not sorry. He's just responding to sponsors pulling out of 2GB.
Disappointing Alan. Never apologise for being right.
Ardern is an attention seeker, the Kiwis could not give her away. Jones was only saying what everyone thought. Probably got pressured from the new leftist style of 9 media. 2Gb could be slow marching the plank.
Too little too late.
Too little too late. Never should have said it
Still not a sincere apology! This guys a joke!
Why? She insulted Australia first...
Jones forced to make fake apology he doesn't mean because his pathetic sexist woman hating attitude has again hurt revenue for his employer.... There fixed the headline for you
Any influence he has is because we give it to him. Time to take it away.
He would have an apology template this bloke.
Pffffft!
AlanJones shouldn’t apologise. He should be doubling down on Ardern. Ardern needs to recognise Australia has no tolerance for fascism, socialism and the left. The last federal election recently confirmed this.
This constant hand ringing by the PC brigade will eventually backfire. I am sure our PM is big enough to handle an off the cuff comment, without the need for all these apologies. As a woman, I find this embarrassing.
If I were jacindaardern.....
He is a living apology
Too little too late no sincerity only damage control time Jones was put into cryogenic storage.
This constant hand ringing by the PC brigade will eventually backfire. I am sure our PM is bigger enough to handle an off the cuff comment, without the need for all these apologies.
He is a repeat offender. He should be simply sacked.
Best thing you could say to jones is “your fires”
Sponsors deserting him are they? That’d be the only reason.
That’s his style. Says shit he shouldn’t, gives a fake apology then moves onto the next shit he will say. He is a truly horrible excuse for a human. I want to vomit every time I see or hear of him 2GB873 should be ashamed of themselves auspol sick
The best thing he could say is “I Quit” 👍
Did he give her another sock and tell her she had a nice pair?
Why? Just over a lost sock from the washing!
Biggest flog in Australia
Been threatened
having brown tongue from licking a$$$$$ doesn't work with converts Jacinda Ardern will destroy whats left NZ
No need, Jonesy. No need.
Did he apologise to her this time because he said she could eat an apple through a picket fence?
He should resign, shouldn't he?
