Why isn't Alan Jones being charged with a crime?
Dear Honourable Senator Coonan
Forgive me if my form of address is incorrect. I write you to enquire as to whether your ministry intends to investigate whether Alan Jones of 2GB violated the Broadcasting act in the course of broadcasting statements as follow:
"Come to Cronulla this weekend to take revenge. This Sunday every Aussie in the Shire get down to North Cronulla to support the Leb and wog bashing day …" in the context of choosing to report an incitement to violence by reading the very incitement verbatim on air.
I hope you take this matter seriously, such irresponsible, and quite possibly illegal behaviour undoubtedly contributed to the appalling violence, destruction of property and breakdown of civil order that took place in Cronulla. We should be sending the message that behaviour like this, from a person with influential access to a large audience regulated by yourself, is not acceptable.
I trust you will at least consider making a statement to assure worried Australians like myself that our nation's airwaves are not the playground of extremists and people who nurture violent, antisocial behaviour.
Warmest Regards
