Another one bites the dust , well Jones was indirectly mentioned in a debate which led to the resignation of the Speaker of the Federal Parliament today , 9 Oct. . In all of the years of observing Parliament , the Question Time was the worst seen . The Prime Minister deserves full credit for her patience with Mr. Abbott . The Opposition's conduct was disgraceful and it's leader got exactly what he deserved , one is reminded of Jeannie C. Riley's song " Harper Valley PTA " . These " wreck the joint " tactics have failed , they better come up with a Plan " B '' and , preferably , a new leader .

After Alan Jones most recent unbalanced , even delusional comments about the Prime Minister of Australia , M/S Julia Gillard . It is time to let radio station 2GB know our feelings about Jones and the decline of standards in Australian political debate .

When bullies play victim
" In a classic case of Goliath imitating David, it's hard to believe Alan Jones's latest tactic in the saga about his offensive comments about the Prime Minister's father. "
Don’t believe the bull that this bully was bullied ( 8 Oct. )
" Mr Jones this morning opened his radio show (now advertisement free) with claims
that the movement of Australians calling on advertisers to boycott his program
was about “cyber bullying” and “cyber terrorism”. "
Lessons from the Alan Jones saga
" The company hasn’t said how long it’s prepared to endure its self-imposed ban, but it’s expected to cost it around $2 million a month. "
Jones has not been bullied - Turnbull ( plus Video )
" In this case the effective response to Mr Jones was not regulation … but rather the use by thousands of people of the enhanced freedom afforded them by the social media .... "

A draft form of complaint from Facebook :
The Alan Jones Story: a black parody ( From Crikey ) :
A draft form of complaint from Facebook :
" Louis Isaac Here's my letter to the advertisers... copy and paste if you don't have time to write one yourself: ( Note - USE YOUR OWN WORDS ! )To Whom it May Concern,
I am writing to inform you of the firestorm currently brewing online over Alan Jones' recent comments about Julia Gillard's father, who, according to Jones "recently died a few weeks ago of shame. To think that he has a daughter who told lies every time she stood for Parliament." Over the last 12 hours or so (Saturday night... usually the least active time on social media) several A Facebook page called "Sack Alan Jones" has reached 1000 "likes", A petition on Change.org has been growing at the rate of around 1000 signatures an hour, and twitter search for "@2GB873" (2GB's twitter handle) will show you the tirade of real time tweets on the issue being sent in. What is interesting about the Twitter comments is that you will see the anger is not just coming from people who wouldn't normally listen to 2GB, but Jones' comments have also offended 2GB's base listenership ( audience ? ) , as well as politicians from both major parties.As advertisers on 2GB and on The Alan Jones Breakfast Show, I hope you will see that associating yourself with Alan Jones during this period reflects badly on your brand and business image. You want your advertising dollars to go as far as possible to make people feel positive about your brand, to associate your brand with the right things, and to digest your message in the way you intend it. For this reason it would be a wise move to spend your money elsewhere and distance yourself from 2GB and Alan Jones at this time.
These numbers may seem small now, but as you are aware social media campaigns grow exponentially from small numbers, and a trickle can be come a torrent quite suddenly. The campaign against Alan Jones has all the hallmarks of what could be quite a powerful social media explosion brewing. It would be wise to distance yourself from Alan Jones at this time.

Dear Woolworths,
I understand that Simon Berger, your Government Relations Manager, provided the chaff bag for auction at the Young Liberals dinner attended by Alan Jones.

...

But I can tell you that until you sack Simon Berger, you will not be getting another cent of my family's money. I'd rather we went hungry than support a company that employs such a man.
No doubt there are some who think that it's amusing to make jokes about killing our Prime Minister. And I suppose that there are some who support the misogyny and violent language of Alan Jones, even as the country is mourning the death of a woman who just suffered the ultimate fate of violence against women. Me? No, I don't think it's funny. I think it is profoundly unfunny that your Government Relations Manager should make a joke out it. I think it is profoundly unfunny that you continue to employ him.
You ought to be ashamed of him. And you ought to sack him.
Yours sincerely,
Steven Langley Guy
Petition :
| " Dear Geekoz, Thanks for signing my petition, "2GB and Associated Advertisers on Alan Jones' Radio Program: Immediately terminate the contract and cease association with Alan Jones.." Winning this campaign is now in your hands. We need to reach out to as many friends as we can to grow this campaign and win. Thanks for your support, Nic | ||||
|
In order to set the record straight, we do not advertise with Alan Jones. I am perplexed as to how or why Harris Partners Real Estate were added to the petition that is now doing the rounds.
Both my wife and I felt Alan Jones' "shame" comments in relation to Prime Minister Julia Gilliard's father John Gilliard passing away, were disgraceful and offensive.
Harris Partners does pay to advertise on Ross Greenwood's 2GB Money News programme from time to time. It is non-political and in line with our target audience.
Over to Media Watch which finally raised the issue of privacy and , for the record :
Any Harris Partners ads that may have run during Alan Jones' programme were unpaid advertisements. Other than the complaint emails I received from telling me that we advertise on Alan Jones' programme, I was totally unaware that we were ever featured on Jones' show.
If you get the chance to forward this email to the person that associated us with Alan Jones and added us to the petition mail-out, I would be grateful.
Best wishes
Peter O'Malley
Thank you for your reply . There is what I would call a Rainbow Coalition of individuals , a Facebook Page and a Twitter Page . At present , I do not know what has happened today . A typical social media situation .

Thank you for your reply . There is what I would call a Rainbow Coalition of individuals , a Facebook Page and a Twitter Page . At present , I do not know what has happened today . A typical social media situation .
I will see what I can do to let " them " know what you have said ,
I think what has happened is that the net was cast fairly wide to include anyone
who may have advertised with 2GB , one Reporter stated that Jones has a
financial interest in the station . Part of the confusion has come about because
2GB has removed it's Advertiser List from their website . There are still
advertisements on the site and I assume on air for organisations etc. not on the
" List " that I have seen . I assume that as you are in the real estate industry
, you would know about " ad-words " ( paid keyword search terms ) . 2GB appears
to be using ad-words and advertisers could be unaware that their ads are on the
site . The ads may be rotated on page load .
I suspect that one or more of the above factors are involved with
Harris Partners being added to the list being circulated . I will see what I can
do to correct the record , but I am only one of thousands ( Mr Jones has upset a
lot of people over the years . ) I take it that you are happy to have your Email
published .
Enjoy the rest of the long weekend .

Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Well , alright , Witch Hater and not to be wished physically dead , as he wished for others :
.
Jones to run ad-free and Macquarie suspends all ads on Alan Jones's show :
" The Macquarie Radio Network has suspended all advertising on Alan Jones's 2GB
show, as the fallout from comments he made about the Prime Minister's late
father continues. "
NOTE : The Macquarie name here is not that of the respected Colonial Governor of NSW or the University but , I suspect , Macquarie Group Limited .
I also suspect that the word "suspended " is used to allow the reinstatement of advertising after the dust settles . We must not let this happen .
From the ABC :
" She says it is too hard to predict what will happens next, but says Macquarie's move shows the increasing power of social media."
" They're banking on the fact that social media scandals have a very short shelf life," she said. "
" They come in a wave and they die down again. When it all dies down they are assuming that most of the advertisers will come back and they will get more listeners perhaps and that everything will go on as before. "
" However, I think that's the most likely outcome in, say, three months' time. "
From :

| ( 7 Oct ) See below for an update from Nic Lochner on the petition you signed called "2GB and Advertisers: Immediately cease association with Alan Jones over "died of shame" comment"
All
advertising on Alan Jones' show has just been suspended. 2GB's owners
released a statement this afternoon saying they're calling a "timeout" -- urging
advertisers to "regroup" and consider returning to Jones.
Commentators
are saying the response is "unprecedented". In just a week, 100,000 of you have
spoken out about Jones' disgusting comments -- and it's forced more than 70 of
Australia's biggest brands to withdraw financial support of Jones.
But
instead of addressing Jones' repeated hateful and bullying episodes, 2GB are
trying to make the controversy blow over quickly.
Can you help
keep the momentum going by sharing the petition on Facebook, or Twitter --
or by spreading this link change.org/alanjones across social media?
You can also join our "Sack Alan Jones" Facebook page here --
some other volunteers and I are posting regular updates and more ways people can
help out.
Our campaign
has always been about demanding a basic level of decency and humanity from our
public figures. Something Jones has never shown. Yet 2GB's owners say we're
trying to "destroy great Australian businesses" simply by holding companies to
account for funding Jones' hate speech.
2GB hope their
announcement today does enough to brush over Jones' repeated bullying, and
convinces companies to return to Jones.
As a
just-published opinion
piece said: this is the rise of decent Australia saying
enough is enough. Let's keep it up!
With
thanks,
Nic. "
