After a 35-year career beguiling loyal listeners on Sydney breakfast radio and hectoring the city's most powerful people, controversial talkback host Alan Jones has switched off the microphone."In this bulletin: a media giant farewelling radio," Nine Radio's 2GB opened its 5.30am news bulletin on Friday in understated fashion. His departure led the bulletin all morning.
A Neutral Bay deli owner recalled the time regular customer Jones was "going off a beauty" because stablemate Ray Hadley was 30 seconds late with a sport report. "You've been a true friend to me and I'll always cherish that," NSW Deputy Premier and Nationals leader John Barilaro said. "[Former federal Labor leader-turned NSW upper house MP] Mark Latham and Tony Abbott have just walked in the door," Jones exclaimed at 8.40am. "They’ve brought some grog with them!"
A former teacher, political candidate, speechwriter and coach of the Australian national rugby league team, Jones dominated Sydney breakfast radio for decades and presided over a record-breaking 226 consecutive wins in the ratings.
MWhitbourn Good riddance to bad rubbish
MWhitbourn A feared man by too many weaklings.
MWhitbourn Thank goodness he’s gone
MWhitbourn Ombudsman of pffffttttt.
MWhitbourn Never knew of any Ombudsman that hung around in a mens toilet offering dirty deeds, are you sure you have a grasp on just what an Ombudsman does?
MWhitbourn The turd who flushed itself out of the toilet of talk back radio.
MWhitbourn It’s as if someone has finally thrown out that dirty, saggy old sofa that’s been skulking up in the dusty attic for the past 80 years, unwanted and no longer in fashion but occasionally creaking loudly with age through the ceiling and rudely interrupting your happy family dinner.
MWhitbourn
MWhitbourn Gone....and soon forgotten Consigned to the trash can of history
MWhitbourn Ombudsman of life? He’s a misogynist and a loon.
MWhitbourn Ombudsman - you've gotta be kidding. Never will forget his part in Cronulla riots.
MWhitbourn “Shitstain of the Airwaves” you mean
MWhitbourn Final farewell guests, Latham and Abbott. Says it all.
MWhitbourn Good riddance.
MWhitbourn Thank god.....
MWhitbourn Put simply: Thank God! If only Ray Hadley would go with him!!!
MWhitbourn I’m not religious but thank god, this man is an ugly stain on our society
MWhitbourn Good riddance
MWhitbourn Apparently paid to leave as his awful mouth was costing the radio station millions in lost ad revenue but the apparent spin was that it was for medical reasons. Which to believe?
MWhitbourn Thank you Allan 👍
MWhitbourn WTF “Ombudsman of life “vile human being more like it. Good riddance
MWhitbourn Don’t let the door slam you in the arse on the way out !
MWhitbourn Good riddance
MWhitbourn
MWhitbourn Gone Gone Gone and God willing soon forgotten - one very nasty piece of work
MWhitbourn Bad news- he will still be airing his abysmal views on the rancid Foxtel. Good news- he will only be preaching to a small audience of the already converted
MWhitbourn Don’t let the door knock your teeth down your throat on the way out. Or let it.
MWhitbourn Alan Jones’ recent attacks on Australia’s coronavirus response has been repugnant He’s no better than an anti-vaccer with his misinformation His constant promotion of Sweden as a model ,if implemented here, would have led to an additional 10,000 of his fellow citizens dying
MWhitbourn With well acknowledged, extreme & often moronic views how can this dickhead ever possess ombudsmanesque qualities? Is that only because he was part of Ninecomau stables?
MWhitbourn Hallelujah!
MWhitbourn I’m not surprised Alan has health problems. All the vitriol and hatred he has spewed out over the years shows his internal state. I’m surprised he’s (unfortunately) lasted so long on radio.
MWhitbourn He cannot be an 'ombudsman of life', because he never had children.
MWhitbourn Be gone already!
MWhitbourn Hes not an ombudsman's arsehole. Disgusting sloth of opinionated drivel goaded on by old white racist sexist men with nothing better to do.
MWhitbourn Vile, nasty, manipulative, bully ... the closeted queen of morning radio has departed because she cost 2GB too many advertisers.
MWhitbourn yeah if “Ombudsman” means a lie peddling self promoter whose MO is coercive control and bullying. How disgusting to credit this proven morally bankrupt individual with any care about anyone but himself or any kind of impartiality. So TONE deaf
MWhitbourn “Ombudsman” 😂 pretty sure an ombudsman is impartial and seeks to resolve complaints.
MWhitbourn Who made him ‘ombudsman’ FFS? Political manipulator is all he was.
MWhitbourn Vomit.
MWhitbourn Dirty pedo
MWhitbourn His audience needs a similar strong voice to represent and advocate conservative views
MWhitbourn Good riddance to bad trash his treatment of women has been atrocious
MWhitbourn But who'll control NSW politics now? Luckily, we still have Murdoch. We don't have to descend into democracy just yet. Phew!
MWhitbourn The far left SMH snowflakes rejoice. ❄️❄️❄️❄️
MWhitbourn The man who instigated the Cronulla Riots.
MWhitbourn I wonder if he might have lasted longer on 2GB873 if he'd cross-promo'd Nine media holdings rather than always News Corp's?
MWhitbourn A disgrace
MWhitbourn See ya
MWhitbourn It's an indictment of the underlying attitudes of the Australian public and politic that this man was allowed to continue in the media for so long. Anyone praising him has lost my respect forever. Misogynist, liar, racist and generally a nasty, nasty person.
