1. Re Alan Jones, here’s how a LABOR Govt ended accountability to the people of recipients of PUBLIC broadcasting licences.

In late 1980s I reported the 2nd Australian Broadcasting Tribunal’s inquiry into whether Alan Bond was ‘a fit & proper person’ to own Nine’s TV licence.
2. Sir Joh sued Nine for defamation, and Bond paid him $400,000. An ABT inquiry cleared him of corruption.

Then Jana Wendt, host of Nine’s A Current Affair, obtained an admission from Bond that he paid Sir Joh in exchange for a promise that he could keep doing business in Qld.
3. The ABT announced a 2nd inquiry - bloody obvious Bond witnesses lied in the first. I’d been in Sydney, so scared, so out of my depth, for a little while, and wanted to go home.

No one wanted to cover the 2nd inquiry, ‘cause everyone thought it would be a boring whitewash.
