Does he have to be prosecuted by the Attorney-General for that one?

Also, why did this have to happen when Media Watch was on summer break….?

That Image Weez!
Did you make that happen with your photoshop wizardry or is he speaking to the Combined Utilities of the Northern Territory?

No, Suki- fraid not. That’s a famous photo with an ‘unfortunate’ camera angle. Photog unknown.

I’ve recently seen another verison of that “photo with an ‘unfortunate’ camera angle”. Instead of Alan Jones, the one I saw had Preznit Bush. Otherwise it was the SAME photo. I suspect some fancy photo manipulation.

mars, I do think the one featuring Jonesy is the original. This one doesn’t show any artifacting of modification- and I’ve looked at it with 1600% magnification in Pshop. It also has a halftone moire as though it was a scan out of a newpaper clipping- the halftone is consistent throughout the image.

If so, you know damn well Jonesy is scot-free. Ruddock has no tears for brown people.

Bloody good question. This is enough to bring the MW staffers back from holidays, in my not so fucking humble opinion.

Can he be charged under the new terror laws? Isn’t there a clause in there where people can now be charged with using media to incite violence?

In my view, in encouraging and flaming hatreds, he’s just like the alleged radical Muslim clerics.

(This is not a rhetorical question – My knowledge of the exact legislation is fuzzy)

Actually yes, David. Jones would be prosecutable under Howard’s sedition laws… but I wouldn’t chug Jack Daniels while waiting for the arrest. However, one 2GB shock-jock, Brian Wilshire, has been forced into an apology, but he has not been charged.

Mind you, if I rob a bank and later apologise, should I escape jail? Simply- no.

Wilshire and Jones should absolutely be arrested and charged, either on sedition or encitement to riot. Further, 2GB’s owners should lose their broadcasting licence for failure to use the licence for the public good.
