How former rugby coach Alan Jones rose to power in the Australian media as a shock jock

ABC  

For decades, veteran broadcaster Alan Jones was the loudest voice in Australian radio. In his early years, Jones worked in the Queensland public school system before joining Brisbane Grammar School in 1963 as a teacher and sports coach. NSW One Nation MP Mark Latham and former prime minister Tony Abbott were present during Alan Jones's final breakfast show for 2GB in 2020. During a 2012 speech at a Liberal party fundraiser, Jones claimed former prime minister Julia Gillard's late father "died of shame" because of his daughter's political "lies". Along with radio, Jones had a four-nights-a-week prime-time program on Sky News Australia and a regular column in Sydney's Daily Telegraph.
