Alan Jones is a magnificent man, erudite, witty, eloquent, courteous, courageous and passionate with a zeal for justice and the service of the common good.
A great Australian by every measure, Alan Jones is whatsmore the greatest radio broadcaster Australia has ever seen. He has informed, enriched and enlivened our public discourse and our national life like no other. His departure leaves us all the poorer. He will be immeasurably missed.
On this day marking the end of his utterly extraordinary radio career and and his tremendous service to radio broadcasting and public debate in this country, I join with millions upon millions of my fellow Australians in wishing Alan Jones good health, long life and every manner of future happiness.
