John Laws has retired from Australian airwaves at long last. I chiefly remember this glorified disc jockey for the hysteria he whipped up in my callow youth which caused a run on a NSW building society. This building society later went on to become a successful bank. John Laws went on to become a rather rich man.
Alan Jones in his pursuit of ratings did much worse and will forever be remembered for fanning the flames of racial tension just prior to the Cronulla Riots.
In December 2000 & Kevin it's time state and federal politicians reconsidered the level of access given to Jones and began to starve this radio 'personality' of the oxygen which keeps him going.
Alan Jones belongs to a far-right past that Australia is now hopefully shrugging off.
