Alan Jones Revealed

"Jonestown: The Power and the Myth of Alan Jones" is the unauthorised biography of Sydney radio broadcaster Alan Jones, written by highly respected Australian author and investigative journalist Chris Masters. To quote Alan Jones' Wikipedia page: "Extracts of the book published in The Sydney Morning Herald concentrated largely on Jones' sexuality, questionable behaviour while Senior English Master at The King's School and the 'cottaging' incident in a London public toilet. The book claims that Jones is a homosexual and that his denial of this is 'a defining feature of the Jones persona'." Not that Jones' sexuality should be anyone's business but his own. The operative word here, however, is "denial". His choice to remain in the closet, I guess. That is, of course, presuming that Masters' claims are correct. Personally, I find Jones' shrilly outspoken and extremely aggressive, xenophobic hate-mongering, to be by far the more unattractive aspect of his personality. Following the 2005 Cronulla race riots in Sydney, "The NSW Administrative Decisions Tribunal upheld a complaint of racial vilification against Jones and (radio station) 2GB on 21 December 2009. The tribunal said: 'His comments about Lebanese males in their vast numbers hating Australia and raping, pillaging and plundering the country, about a national security crisis, and about the undermining of Australian culture by vermin were reckless hyperbole calculated to agitate and excite his audience without providing them with much in the way of solid information'."
