Alan Jones now faces 26 charges for indecent assault and sexual touching of 9 victims, with 2 more charges laid today. All alleged victims were young men but one, a 17-year-old child. At least one was a 2GB employee.
Yesterday, we copped much flak for claiming we were soooo proud to have caused Jones’s sacking from 3 media platforms. And to those who abused us for this pride: get comprehensively fucked.
It’s no stretch to say that if Jones is a sexual offender he may have abused more young men had he still had his jobs at 2GB, the Daily Telegraph and Sky News. After his sacking he retreated to his NSW farm, where surely he had less access to potential victims.
But far, far more than that, his sacking paved the way for last year’s media reports and police investigation. While he had one of the most influential voices in the Australian media he was virtually safe. Because as with Jimmy Saville and others with friends in the highest places, nobody dared publicly go after Jones while he had the power to destroy them in return.
This is why we posted pics last night of Jones with his many suck-up friends. From Prime Ministers to media heavy-weights, most of those people would’ve heard multiple rumours about Jones and, at a minimum, knew of his London arrest and other accusations.
None said or did anything, to our knowledge. Whether that was from fear or from wanting to continue to curry favour with a man who by his own reckoning influenced elections and made or broke careers, shame on all those with the power to act who did exactly … nothing.
So it’s no stretch at all to claim that without the relentless hard work of our MFW witches, Jones would probably have gone to his grave with claims against him untested. Alleged victims would’ve been denied justice. And yet another repeat alleged perpetrator would’ve only been exposed after his death.
We understand why the vast majority of the media won’t name MFW’s role here. We threaten their colleagues and mates and employers and are a force they wish would shut the fuck up and go away (like good little girls). Our work is considered unseemly by “establishment” circles of Australian media, corporations and politics, especially since we’re mostly women so the power we have is (to them) vastly distasteful and impolite and nasty.
They even call us “nasty women” as if it’s an insult when it’s actually a badge of fucking honour to shake up those who think they run everything and who can’t bear it now they’re losing their iron grip on the control and money they’ve hogged for centuries.
They’ll ignore us or attack us to the ends of the earth rather than credit us for anything at all. We get it.
Jones doesn’t have to be a convicted sexual abuser to be excrement. He was already that, a long time ago. And his suck-up supporters are also excrement for eagerly aligning themselves with his misogyny, racism and abuse for their own benefits.
But if he’s a sexual abuser AS WELL AS a fucking arsehole, it makes the decades-long protection he’s had from others even more deplorable. They’d heard the rumours. We all had.
And Channel 9 (now receiving aaaalll the accolades for breaking the Jones allegations last year) would’ve done exactly NOTHING while he continued to work within their stable at 2GB.
What the fuck does that make THEM as a company? HELLO? Are they really the heroes here? Don’t make us laugh.
How did Jones keep his job for so long till a small group of sweary women decided we’d had enough? Where were the powerful men meant to protect both women and younger men from Jones’ depredations on us?
So are we proud? You bet your fucking witches’ britches we are. And anyone with the power to investigate or call Jones out who didn’t should now be thoroughly ashamed.
Fuck Jones. Fuck them. And thank god for the tens of thousands of witches who did the thankless work to get him sacked.
THEY are the real fucking heroes here.

Why do Murdoch hacks always back the perpetrator? Peta Credlin extremely shaken, now desperately defending her “friend” Alan Jones. I guess it’s no surprise given she also supports Trump the convicted rapist.
Paul Fletcher refuses to reveal his party’s tax policy & insists: “Lower, simpler taxes will always be in the Coalition’s DNA”
As the 2 highest taxing govts in our history are the Howard & the Abbott-Turnbull-Morrison govts, believe it’s ‘Lying’ that will always be in their DNA
