"And he eloquently speaks for the silent majority on issues from his opposition to the politicians' republic and an apology to Aboriginal Australians, to his strong support for border protection and the war on Islamic terrorism."

A silent majority? What a dim, myopic and typical demagoguery of a conservative commentator. Abuses committed against Indigenous Australians occur to this very day,examples are on his program.

Comments by such a glorified ignoramus threaten the fragile lives of indigenous adolescents everyday.

Australian media is of its only kind in the world who promotes overtly offesive laymen into the mass media to make the country feel it does not need to think, rationalise or argue their stance but they just need to congele together as a majority.

This silent majority may only exist because they do not need to speak - they're intimidating prejudices speak for them.

Alan Jones will forever be a blight on the Australian media - he and others like him constantly shock the rest of the world.

Wake up Australia.

Arjay,
Old boy the level playing field is a figment of the conservative imagination, it hasn't, doesn't and will never exist. Untill a third political party non reliant on multi-national funding is created with a collection of ordinary working people, small business and community groups, we are destined to be at this "you say" "Isay" position forever.

Liberal Party policies are as old as Napolean, divide and conquer, we need to come together with a mass of new ideas.
