Macquarie Radio Network Announcement - 

Sunday, October 7, 2012

Macquarie Radio Network Limited ("MRN"), the owner of radio station 2GB, today announced a temporary suspension of all advertising in its top rating weekday Breakfast Show hosted by Alan Jones.

The move follows a week of unprecedented focus throughout mainstream and social media on Jones and remarks he made recently at a private function regarding Prime Minister Julia Gillard and the loss of her father. More specifically, the move has been prompted by actions being taken and threatened against companies advertising on the Alan Jones Breakfast Show.

Announcing the suspension of advertising, MRN Executive Chairman Russell Tate said, "the nature, tone and volume of the reaction to Jones’ remarks, and in particular the threats being made through social media to companies advertising in Jones' program and the disruption being caused to their businesses, have made it necessary for MRN to call some 'time out".

Alan Jones Replies at last a conservative defends himself

Alan Jones Julia Gillards Father comments

"Some simple facts need to be acknowledged.

"There is almost universal agreement that Jones' remarks were unacceptable, wrong and inexcusable. Alan himself acknowledged that from the moment he first advised me of them. He immediately arranged a media conference to state that publicly and apologise to the Prime Minister.

"Although the remarks were not made on 2GB, our position from the outset has been that a personal, unconditional apology was a necessary and appropriate response. I encouraged Alan to repeat the apology on 2GB when he first returned to air last Tuesday morning following his media conference. His apology was unambiguous and unconditional. He has revisited his apology many times in subsequent broadcasts.

"Alan Jones' audience, those who listen regularly to his program, also agree that his remarks were unacceptable. From Research we have conducted over this weekend with them, it is also clear though the great majority acknowledge his apology and have not significantly changed their attitude towards the Alan Jones Breakfast Show.

"Nor importantly is there any indication from regular listeners that their attitudes towards companies advertising in the program has changed adversely.

“Since we now know these things to be fact, we have to conclude that the avalanche of telephone, email and facebook demands to our advertisers to “boycott” the Alan Jones Breakfast Show, and the threats to destroy their businesses if they don’t comply, are coming almost entirely from people who do not listen to Alan Jones or 2GB at all – probably never have done and never will.

"Now in Australia these people of course have the right to express their views to anybody who wants to listen, about any subject they want, including Alan Jones and his radio show. They also have the right and plenty of choice; freedom of choice, to listen to any of the hundreds, in this digital age, thousands of radio programs available to them.

"What they do not have the right to do is on the one hand decide for our listeners who and what they are going to hear on the radio station they choose to listen to, and on the other hand decide for Australian based companies which media outlets they will or won’t use to advertise their products and services. They do not have the right to interfere with freedom of choice and they do not have the right to attempt to censor – not Alan Jones, not this radio network, not the people who choose to listen to it and not the companies who choose to advertise on it.

“What we are seeing here is 21st Century censorship, via cyber-bullying.

"As a talk-station we openly advocate debate. Talk radio is arguably the original form of social media. The difference between 2GB and some catchy URL is that MRN operates in a regulated media environment.

"We hold ourselves, and are held, to account on many levels. We operate within a long established regulatory guidelines and rules. We’re accountable to the regulatory authorities for our license to operate; to our listeners who have the freedom to leave us any time they want; to our advertisers who will leave us if our listeners do; to our shareholders who will show staff and management the door when the advertisers disappear.

“We are happy to listen to any constructive criticism of what we are doing. We do it every day, often live on-air. But strangely we have heard very little on this issue from the same social media groups which are attempting to destroy the companies who have the hide to advertise with the highest rating radio station in Sydney. All of their focus is destructive. They are simply making life as difficult as possible for the staff of companies whose crime apparently is advertising on Sydney’s highest rating breakfast radio show.

“How hard is it to work out that those companies do not choose to advertise in the Alan Jones Breakfast Show because they agree with all of his views and everything he says. They advertise in the Show only because they want to engage with the massive audience who listens to him – an audience which has dominated the ratings in the Sydney market for over a decade. An audience which chooses to listen and an audience which, if and when it decides it has had enough of Alan Jones and goes somewhere else, will be closely followed by those same companies.

“We have taken this unprecedented decision to suspend advertising in the Alan Jones Breakfast Show until further notice so that all of our advertisers are on an equal footing, can regroup and discuss with us the way forward and how we together deal with these attempts to damage great Australian businesses. We’ll be doing that over the next week or so and I would personally also welcome discussion with representatives of the organisations behind the totally unwarranted pressure being put on our advertisers. But any discussion will need to be face to face, not hiding behind a keyboard.

“The decision obviously comes at a very significant short term cost to MRN. It is an insignificant price to pay for our audience to be able to listen to what they choose to listen to, and for Australian companies to advertise where they choose to advertise.”

Alan Jones loses his Merc

JONATHAN MARSHALL AND JORDAN BAKER
The Sunday Telegraph
October 07, 2012 12:00AM

MERCEDES-BENZ will confiscate Alan Jones's $250,000 sponsored car, and has vowed to never again support the controversial broadcaster or his radio station 2GB.

The carmaker expressed its strong distaste at Jones's comment, revealed last week by The Sunday Telegraph, that Prime Minister Julia Gillard's father, John Gillard, "died of shame" because of "lies" told by his daughter.

"We want the car back, the deal is cancelled, it is over," Mercedes-Benz's corporate communications manager, David McCarthy, said.

If the car is not returned, Mercedes will send someone to repossess it.

Mercedes-Benz Australia-Pacific, owned by the Daimler Group, distanced itself from Jones and has cancelled all radio advertising .

The Sunday Telegraph revealed last weekend Jones told a Sydney University Liberal Club dinner on September 22 that the prime minister's 83-year-old father, John, "died of shame".

"We were appalled and shocked at the lack of respect (the comments) expressed," Mr McCarthy said.

Now the company has informed Jones it wants him to return the black 2012 S-Class Mercedes the broadcaster has been driving free.

Should the vehicle not be returned by October 31, a Mercedes-Benz representative would collect it, he said.

The Sunday Telegraph understands Jones had been able to use the expensive vehicle as part of a sponsorship agreement with 2GB's owner, Macquarie Radio.Mercedes-Benz bosses have ditched advertising on Jones's show and across the station.

"We have terminated ALL (sic) commercial arrangements with 2GB," the company said in a statement. "We cannot see a circumstance that will see us returning to advertising (on Jones's) show."

Mr McCarthy refused to reveal how much the deal with 2GB was worth, other than to say: "It's now worth a lot less than it was a week ago."

Macquarie is offering discount rates for new advertisers, and has emailed subscribers asking if they have changed their opinion of 2GB and its sponsors, many of whom have dumped the station and Jones.

"During the last week, has your attitude towards companies that advertise on the Alan Jones Breakfast Show changed?" the survey asked.

Macquarie has told at least one agency it would discount standard rates by at least 15 per cent. Advertisements on his show usually sell for $1170 and live reads for $3300.

More than 70 companies have backed away and shares in Macquarie Radio crashed this week amid estimates that the boycott could cost millions.

A spokesman for Macquarie Radio refused to comment.

Jones is still in demand as a speaker, with a spokeswoman for Saxton Speakers saying no bookings were cancelled. Jones charges about $12,000 per speaking engagement.

A Facebook blitz on sponsors has more than 11,000 "likes", with users bombarding advertisers with emails.

Jenna Price from the Destroy the Joint movement named after Jones's claim women such as Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore were "destroying the joint" - said one sponsor got 4000 emails.

Staff at 2GB told activists the boycott would hurt young employees, not Jones.

Shares in 2GB fell six per cent last week.

Opposition to Appeasement of Godless Savages grows in Australia

One of Australia's very own "Arse Clown Idiots in Search of a Village" ,Federal Minister for Freedom FROM Information and Labor Green Loon Propaganda, Senator Stephen CONroy calls for Banning Mohammed  Video... It's not known if he has ordered You Tube to remove any more material he deemed offensive to His and his Governments Muslim pals 

Conroy urges YouTube to pull video

The AGE
September 16, 2012 - 6:13PM

Communications Minister Stephen Conroy has called for YouTube to consider taking down a video that ridicules the Prophet Mohammed which sparked a violent protest in Sydney yesterday.

A spokesman for Senator Conroy said the video, Innocence of Muslims, by an American filmmaker who calls himself "Sam Bacile" was "clearly offensive and (YouTube's owner) Google should review its terms of service to see if they are being appropriately applied in this case."
"Australia has strong anti-vilification laws. If people believe this video is in breach of these laws they can make a complaint to Google or the Human Rights Commission," the spokesman said.
"What people shouldn't do is engage in violent protests on the streets. It is totally unacceptable behaviour and should be condemned."

A YouTube spokesman said the video was "clearly within our guidelines and so will stay on YouTube."
The spokesman said the company had restricted access to the video in countries where it is illegal such as India and Indonesia, as well as in Libya and Egypt because of "the very sensitive situations in these two countries."
"We work hard to create a community everyone can enjoy and which also enables people to express different opinions. This can be a challenge because what's OK in one country can be offensive elsewhere," the spokesman said.

"Some people go through drugs, some people choose to dance as an exotic dancer. It was fun for me.
"I am from the part of the world where I had never experienced that kind of stuff, so I just did it because it was there and it was fun to do."

Kevin Rudd didn't know brother's wife was a Stripper

BY: PATRICIA KARVELAS, POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT
The Australian 
August 22, 2007 

KEVIN Rudd's brother never told him that his wife had worked as a stripper because he wanted to protect the Opposition Leader's political career.

Greg Rudd yesterday defended his wife's former profession, arguing that many smart young women did it and found it an "enriching" experience.


Greg Rudd's wife, Okhola, spent several months at a Brisbane strip club in 2001 working as an "exotic dancer".

The pair say they first met in a Brisbane coffee shop.

But yesterday Greg Rudd told The Australian that he was a part-owner of a restaurant across the road from the strip club. He said his restaurant provided catering for the women who worked at Universal Girls, including his wife.

"I never actually told Kevin because I have been conscious of the journey Kevin is on* and I've been conscious that there's some things he didn't need to know," he said. "Not because I thought Kevin would be shocked, because I told my mum and she just shook her head and went, 'that's typical of you'. 

"I leased a restaurant in Brisbane called Pages on Mary.

"Across the road was a strip club that opened virtually at the same time.

"We used to provide food for a lot of the girls, a lot of our patrons would go across there, and vice versa."

Greg Rudd said spending time in a strip club was a "bit like going for a free therapy session".

"A lot of guys talk to strippers about a whole pile of stuff that they wouldn't talk to anyone else about -- all the hassles they are having at home, the hassles they are having at work. In my experience, there was probably more talk that went on than any touching of flesh."

He said many university students found stripping beneficial.

"It helps economically, of course, but it's also an enriching experience because where else do young women at university in particular get access to professional guys who are CEOs where they can talk openly and honestly to them?"

Greg Rudd, 53, said when he first saw the headlines about his younger brother's visit to the New York strip club Scores, hethought the reports were about him. He said his Botswana-born wife had tried exotic dancing because she had wanted a different life experience.

"African women love dancing and they are not afraid of flesh so it's not hard to understand why she thought it would be interesting," Greg Rudd said.

Ms Rudd came to Australia on a student visa in 1998 under a Botswanan government scholarship to study psychology. She is now completing a masters degree in organisational psychology at Brisbane's Griffith University.

Exotic dancing in the family for Rudd

August 21, 2007 

KEVIN Rudd's sister-in-law yesterday admitted to her secret past as a stripper, saying it was a period of her life she regretted.

Okhola Rudd, the wife of the federal Opposition Leader's brother Greg, yesterday told The Courier-Mail she spent several months at a Brisbane strip club in 2001 working as an "exotic dancer".

But Mrs Rudd denied meeting her husband for the first time while on the podium, insisting the pair met in a Brisbane coffee shop.

The 30-year-old Botswanan-born woman said she had been drawn into the world of exotic dancing out of curiosity rather than necessity.

"I didn't need to dance as an exotic dancer, it was just a stage that I went through," she said.

"Some people go through drugs, some people choose to dance as an exotic dancer. It was fun for me. I am from the part of the world where I had never experienced that kind of stuff, so I just did it because it was there and it was fun to do.

"Do I regret doing it? Yes. If I was to do it all over again, I probably wouldn't go back and dance in a strip club, but it happened and I'm not proud of it but I guess I just have to work with the repercussions that come with that."

Mrs Rudd came to Australia on a student visa in 1998 under a Botswanan government scholarship.

She is completing a Masters degree in organisational psychology at Brisbane's Griffith University.

Greg Rudd yesterday said his wife had been unfairly dragged into the federal election campaign.

"Yes, I love Okhola. No, I have no regrets," he said.

Kevin Rudd said: "I love my brother. He and his wife have a loving relationship, their marriage is a matter for them."

The other Rudd

Ben Fordham speaks with Greg Rudd about his play for a seat in the Queensland senate.

So Just what IS Lu Kewen’s idea of a “GOOD time” Lu Kewen aka. Kevin 07 is a much publicized Church going man of strong Religious spirituality and conviction, whilst he has usually been seen on TV news every Sunday Night exiting a Church with Madame Rein on his arm he has said that he could just as easily fall to his knees at a Mosque (should the photo opportunity arise) So Lu Kewen’s Religiosity really depends upon who is looking at any particular time.

The true Character of a man can be best judged by observing how he behaves when he thinks no one is watching him.

So what does Lu Kewen aka. Kevin 07 / Rudd do when he thinks no one is watching him? I know, I know ,what you are thinking “what Lu Kewen aka. Kevin 07 / Rudd does AFTER he goes to whatever Church he feels is best to be filmed walking out of every Sunday, by Australia’s main stream media and the Lefts taxpayer funded ABC / SBS networks is none of Australia’s Business……….

"I never actually told Kevin because I have been conscious of the journey Kevin is on..." Greg Rudd.

Was this Kevin's Journey ?


What Rudd might have seen
By Glenn Milne 
The Sunday Telegraph 
August 19, 2007 

SCORES in Manhattan is variously described as "a strip club", "a haven for horny high rollers" and "one of several gentlemen's clubs which changed the face of adult entertainment during the early 1990s".

It's also full-on. 

One Australian who's been there described the "entertainment" to The Sunday Telegraph: "The girls start with dresses on. Then they come off and they don't have any bras on - just a g-string. 

"Then they start dancing, rubbing their breasts into the customers' faces, lap dancing. 

"The guys have their hands all over their backsides and their legs. 

"All the girls specialise in turning around, bending over to face the customer and then there's lots of butt slapping. 

"They open the men's legs apart. 

"The manager - a big guy - comes around and asks whether you want a blonde or brunette. 

"There are private rooms you can go to." 

In January this year, some of the "dancers" were charged with prostitution-related offences at the club, described in one newspaper report as an "implant paradise". 

According to the report, in The New York Post, four strippers and two of their bosses were charged for "offering to take undercover officers, who were acting on a tip, into a back room and pleasure them for money". 

The price was $US200 ($250) to $US700 ($880) depending on the "act". 

A so-called "Platinum Package" in one of those rooms costs $US195 ($246) for three hours. 

According to the Scores website: "If privacy is what you seek then look no further than the President's Club. 

"Enjoy the up close and personal company of your favourite Scores girl or girls." 

"Tipping is made easy at Scores with Diamond Dollars. 

"Use your credit card instead of your cash. Best of all, it's discreet!" 

One customer review on the NY City Search site notes: "Scores has the best bouncers among all gentleman clubs in NY City. 

"They do not interfere unless you really cross the limit." 

The club has hosted celebrities such as Lindsay Lohan and US shock jock Howard Stern, who regularly promotes the venue in his program. 

But Scores also has a dark side. 

There have been allegations of mafia connections in the past. 

There have also been civil lawsuits filed against the club from customers alleging contested credit card charges of as much as $US129,000 ($162,000).

Rudd Government Minister receives "Internet Villain of the Year" award

Conroy named Internet Villain of the Year

SMH
Adam Turner
July 13, 2009

Stephen Conroy's mandatory internet filtering plans have earned him the title of Internet Villain of the Year at the 11th annual Internet Industry Awards.

The Internet Villain category recognises individuals or organisations that have upset the Internet industry and hampered its development - those whom the industry loves to hate.

As Australia's communications minister, and supporter of one of the world's most ambitious internet censorship plans, Senator Conroy beat out tough competition from the likes of the European Parliament and French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

The nominations for the UK Internet Industry Awards' Internet Villain of the Year 2009 included;

European Parliament - "For supporting an amendment to the Telecom Package on cookies which could yet bring the internet to a standstill"

The proposal would force websites to use a pop-up or other intrusive method to notify visitors to a website every time they received a cookie, even though the technology to control such behaviour is already built into many web browsers.

President Nicolas Sarkozy - "For his continued commitment to the HADOPI law, which advocates a system of graduated response, despite repeated arguments suggesting the law is disproportionate from a number of important groups including the European Parliament"

Sarkozy proposes to ban those who repeatedly download pirated content from all French ISPs for 12 months.

Baroness Vadera - "For excluding a number of ISPs and Rights Holders in agreeing a Memorandum of Understanding that was exclusive and ineffective in progressing relations between the two industries"

UK Business Minister, Barnoness Shriti Vadera, brokered a deal between the music business and six of the UK's biggest ISPs to offer legal broadband subscription services that permit file sharing.

Stephen Conroy and the Australian Government - "For continuing to promote network-level blocking despite significant national and international opposition" Conroy proposes a secret blacklist blocking "unwanted content", despite evidence that it will hamper internet speeds, be easily circumvented and may spread beyond the initial target of child pornography to be used as a bargaining chip to win the favour of influential conservative politicians - who are already calling for it to be expanded.

After less than two years of the Rudd Socialist Labor Government,their plans to shackle Australian citizens (serfs?) Internet services to the same yoke of government censorship as that,is imposed upon the citizens of North Korea, Cuba, China, Iran and Venezuela, has been exposed further on the world stage, by this award to Rudd's Internet propaganda Minister, Stephen Conroy. No spontaneous demonstrations in the streets of Sydney from concerned citizens,school teachers, leftist intellectuals,"beautiful people" "student",Australia's very own Hollywood idiot wannabees and Rudd's bankers and financiers the Australian Council of Trade Unions, no Comrade not a sound from those self appointed keepers of the keys of freedom and morality, not a sound.

Americans BEWARE Australian internet to be CENSORED by Australian Labor Party
