Every one in Australia is talking about the comments made by a well known broadcaster, named Alan Jones.The comments, one recalls, is that he said that the PM's father died of shame because of the lies spoken by the PM. My view is that firstly, attacks on the private life of any politician and any other high profile person should be out of bounds. I do not want to know their [our leaders] private lives. Secondly, people in positions where they can express an opinion to a wide mass of people, should be more careful in expressing a view that may cause offense to people in general. This could lead to riots and people hurt both physically and emotionally. This and other attacks by shock jocks could bite them on the old proverbial.
I suspect that Mr. Alan Jones was trying to boost his ratings by making these comments. One wonders at the motive for this attack on the most powerful figure in Australian politics.
Thank you for your time.
