Why is Alan Jones in London newsworthy?
Summary by Ground News
Although widely acknowledged as gay, Alan Jones has never commented on his sexuality. Jones exerted unparalleled influence over conservative Australian politicians for many years. Despite adverse regulator findings and expensive defamation losses, 2GB continued to employ the divisive broadcaster until 2020. Following a costly advertising boycott that year, Jones retired, citing ill health. He later also lost his gig on Sky News and of late has been reduced broadcasting on a 5-hour-a-day digital channel. A source close to Jones claims the former shock jock has no immediate plans to return to Australia.
