I think Alan Jones was upset because Ardern got one over ScuMo putting her in the good books with the Pacific Islands leaders on the global warming / climate change issue.

Pacific Islands leaders have got ScuMo over a barrel on the global warming / climate change issue and will play Australia off against China to squeeze every cent they can get out of Australia under the threat of letting China establish a military presence in the South Pacific.

I really like ScuMo's feeble attempt to turn the tables claiming China is a bigger culprit of CO2 emissions than Australia in order to get the Pacific Islands nations to turn their ire against China instead of Australia. I think ScuMo is too slow to realise that the Pacific Islands nations intend to screw Australia for everything it can get before turning to China anyway.

Suggesting violence towards a female leader and
ally of Australia is a step too far.

Alan Jones has crossed the line this time by
telling our PM to "shove a sock" down the throat
of Jacinda Ardern's throat. But it turns out
that this wasn't the worst of it.

New audio aired on Media Watch last night has revealed
even more concerning comments made by the 78 year old
broadcaster. He spewed a shocking attack against
the NZ Prime Minister - saying that Scott Morrison
should get tough with a few "backhanders".

He called her a lightweight, someone who
doesn't have a clue,
a complete clown, a swallower of the climate change
"hoax" and finally - a joke.

As a result his employer haws issued a warning (again).
And major advertisers have deserted Jones in droves.
Companies like - Anytime Fitness, ME Bank, Bing Lee,
RSL Art Union, Amart, Mercedes Benz, Snooze, Bunnings,
Total Tools, Big W, have all withdrawn their advertising
from Jones' program.

Jones has a history of having problems with women leaders.
His attacks on former PM Julia Gillard, Premier Gladys
Berejiklian and Sydney Mayor Clover Moore are well known.

As someone stated - fancy being a business and sponsoring
this vile man.

His behaviour should not be defended or excused.
The man needs to seek professional help.

SR,

Considering the glee that you and other left whingers displayed in defending an actual physical assault on Fraser Anning, the rampant hypocrisy and high dudgeon you display between the semantic difference between AJ exhorting SM to shove a sock down her throat and the presumably more acceptable version of the saying of shoving a sock in her mouth is laughable.

I am not surprised that because dear Jacinda is female you and other left whingers automatic assume that any criticism of your holy cow by a male is automatically misogyny.

Having spent the last few months working in NZ and having been subjected to her well meaning incompetence and mindless prattle almost makes me long for the venal Juliar

Dear Foxy,

I've never liked Alan Jones and I have always had a very low opinion of his view of the world. But then can we blame him for the sort of person he is? When I first started work I hated the bullies in the office who were mostly managers but as time went on and news began to leak out about things like child sex abuse in private secondary schools, etc., I began to realise that these bullies were probably victims themselves and were taking out their anger on those whom they could exert power over. So I think we need to take account of the circumstances that someone like Alan Jones may have experienced but we are unaware of.

Foxy,

"Jones has a history of having problems with women leaders.
His [justified] attacks on former PM Julia Gillard, Premier Gladys
Berejiklian and Sydney Mayor Clover Moore are well known"

Fixed it for you.

personally I think if Ardern is going to continue to butt in on Australian matters she should put a sock in it. She should be governing her own little state.
