Jonestown

In Today's SMH: A fellow broadcaster and longstanding Jones critic, Mike Carlton, speculated on radio that the board might have pulled the book because of the details about Jones's private life.

"… is it that Jonestown alleges that Alan Jones is gay or has had gay relationships? As I understand it, and I've not read the book, I believe it details a number of gay sexual encounters Jones was allegedly involved in."

Oh hell no. Hasn't the gay community suffered enough? Surely it wouldn't be too much to ask Middle Australia to take him back..

On a slightly more serious note, why is it such a scurrilous allegation that Keith Windschuttle may have had something to do with this? Surely he's on the ABC board to do *something* and this action would be consistent with previous sentiments he has expressed. Are we really supposed to believe that his previous politics combined with a position of some power will have zero practical output? If i was the Right i'd be asking for a refund.
