Among the callers over the years were singers Cliff Richards and Kenny Rogers. Former US President Ronald Reagan's assistant Peggy Grande called to impart some of her former boss's advice.
"I'm glad you're taking the medical experts advice," Prime Minister Scott Morrison told the veteran broadcaster in his final interview with a political powerbroker, when the PM called in about 7.45am.Former prime minister Tony Abbott and former federal Labor leader-turned NSW upper house MP Mark Latham gatecrashed the Southern Highlands home, where Jones has been broadcasting during the coronavirus pandemic – they walked in with champagne to celebrate.
School teacher. Speech writer. Sports mad former Wallabies coach. Kid from Queensland. Motivational speaker. The many faces of Jones were on display in his final hours on radio. There was the former King's School English master who recited everything from Banjo Paterson verse "the man that holds his own is good enough" to Roman statesman Cicero's "Six mistakes man keeps making".
He recalled his support of unpopular causes, reminding listeners he always believed Lindy Chamberlain was innocent of the 1980 killing of her daughter Azaria. He then revealed when Chamberlain was released from jail in 1987 after being wrongly accused of the murder, he flew her from Darwin to Sydney to dine with him.
A revolving man. Good riddance
Happy to wave goodbye
Finally RIP
What a trio
the picture is worth a thousand words
GALAXIES COLLIDED, CIVILIZATIONS COLLAPSED INTO RUINS, GREAT MEN RENT THEIR GARMENTS ASUNDER, AND THERE WAS A GREAT WAILING AND GNASHING OF TEETH THROUGHOUT THE LAND. *click* . . . crickets . . .
Australia is now a better place
Finally!
Then goodness the grubby old prick is gone.
Good riddance to really bad, smelly rubbish
Great example of social distancing!
See ya Alan. Good riddens to bad rubbish.
Time to go back to hanging around toilet blocks
Mornings will be better from Monday without the bully on 2 GB - good on nine 2gb to sack him
good riddance to this vermin.
Goodbye & Good Riddiance! You won’t be missed!
How funny that all these whiny post complaints about him but one has to make the choice to listen or not listen. I think it's just left-wing people grateful that Jones is not going to be there opposing their crap.
Where's the sponsoredcontent tag for this article?
Thanks that he’s finally finished his evil rhetoric. Why has he not been arrested for the rubbish that spews from his mouth?
Thank Christ.
Hoooraayyyy!
More time for Alan's great passion in life. Love letters to you boys. AlanJones
Hallelujah
The aether will be so much less toxic without him.
Good riddance to the disgusting old dinosaur.
Alan Jones was divisive and rude at best. Blabbering for $$$$ is not something to be admired for, sadly so many ‘notable’ Australians are pandering to this man. One has to wonder why.
Fantastic news. Time for this blight on the airwaves to piss off. AlanJones, go and get fucked.
Ratings wins in a nonsense market. Grilling PMs? Ha! Some he hit with wet lettuce and others he put on a pedestal. He thought he ran NSW. Truth is, he’s just a big old mouthy bigot who got too much of the attention he craved. A disgrace of a man.
Judged by the company he keeps. The most disgusting and vile men in Australia. UglyAustralians
This is why I don't bother with this newspaper anymore. Gutter trash
35 years too late.
Yay see ya 👋
Yeh good on you SMH, you keep bowing to your masters. Not a single equalising thing to say about it. All positive, he was a saint, what a guy! Thanks for nothing Jones. You were the ludicrous voice of those who supported your ridiculous platforms. May mediocrity be your name.
Jonesy working out which one he is taking home tonight. Scotch in the jacuzzi.
Ahhhh - the sound of silence!
Three cheers for the toilet lurker!
Its a good day
Thank fuck!
Good riddance
And took a teaspoon of cement to toughen up.. Of his own medicine..!? Woos of an old white man he is....!!!
After inciting race riots, writing inappropriate letters to children, spending years spreading hate and misogyny some disgusting old white guy finally realises he is no longer relevant abouttime
Oh the three weirdos together at last.
Good riddance
Good riddance!
Thank God
What a photo of e failed “leaders” - only 1 made it to PM position, but was a dismal failure! The other 2 never achieved their ambition, because the people recognised they were also dismal failures in politics. Begone each of them!
Well done jones.
Disgusting how paedophiles and sex offenders Rule this World.
Hoo fking ray! Hope the door hits his ass on the way out
The hate squad.
A conga line of suck holes.
He was paid talent. Has he ever received direct or indirect funding for pro Liberal party commentary? Honest question.
It clearly shows that there is at least one more meaning for POC
Sorry what?
See ya. The meanest clown in town has lost his megaphone. Yay!
Hypocrisy displayed as an art form . He will not be missed
In 1984 Jones was elected coach of the Wallabies, taking over from Bob Dwyer, and coached Australia until early 1988. The team won 102 matches making him the most successful Australian rugby coach ever.
Good riddance
A drunk, a pedo and a fanatic walk n to a bar...
Latham, Jones and Abbott couldn’t get an uglier trio
nasty nasty man
Greattttttttttttttttttttttt
34 years too late
🤬
Good fuckin riddance! Aweful man...
Happy days.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present the Three Stooges.
Oh thank God 🙏
Latham: Domestic violence is a coping mechanism. Jones: Stuff a sock down her throat, put her in a chaff bag and dump her at sea. Abbott: Men are more adapted to exercise authority or to issue command. Two worst PMs Australian never had and the one we did.
That photo was just before they engaged in a human centipede.
Good riddance. [But what will everyone's low IQ relos do now for their socio-economic-political insight?]
A win for democracy
Glad I’ve got Foxtel so I can still watch the great man on SkyNewsAust
Good riddance.
Powerful women everywhere will be glad the vitriol and abuse has finally ceased.
Surrounded by sychophants that's how I want to go out too ! Not🙄
Good riddance.
GetUp are out in force.
Thank god.
❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
Thank the lord that grimy turd is off the air.
Good riddance, this vile human being has added nothing positive in his tenure as Australia’s most loathsome shock jock. Hopefully his twilight years will bring the loneliness and suffering he so richly deserves
Good news in a sea of bad.
Thank fuck
You forgot inciting a race riot in the headline.
Better off without him spouting crap
Not to mention a dozen defamation lawsuits, multiple threats of violence against women, several child-sex allegations, one particularly memorable race-riot...
Good riddance!
What awful words he spewed
Does that mean I won’t have to see and hear him anymore And I don’t even live in NSW , or Queensland?
He's been replaced with a total lightweight who's more suited to discussing recipes & traffic jams..
Turds of a feather...
The best things he had the social media squealers squealing right to the end.
