News GLORIA

What happened ? I’m guessing a blowie from some bloke
Here’s a good rundown.. It mentions the reason he was in England, to watch Oxford vs Cambridge in Rugby, because of Brian Smith (not the coach but ex Tiger and Wallaby player and he did is Diploma of Education there) He used to favour Smith in both codes, once replaced Nick Farr Jones at half for him, and caused Garry Freeman to leave the Tigers because of Jones’ favouritism of the lesser player Smith.

Google what Smith looks like and the guy Jones’ most recent protege, Jake Thrupp. See if you notice something.


 
Hey ASSASSIN let talk footy and who will get like Paps and Thompson
My gut feeling is we get Paps but miss out on Thompson.

TBH not going to be upset if we miss out on both. Would like us to get Fa'alogo if we don't get Paps.

Remember Smith getting “preferential” treatment at the selection table from Jones he leapfrogged players with superior talent.

A rugby journalist once told me about a half time speech he gave to the Wallabies. All he talked to them about was how good Smith was playing. It got to the point where Smith looked embarrassed.
 
So if something happens allegedly between 2 people 20 years back then it's he said/ he or she said.
How to the cops prove anything ?

I've never got how the cops prove historic sex cases 20 or 30 years ago.
 
One of his alleged victims is a former Olympian.
 
One of his most notorious moments occurred during his coverage of the 2005 Cronulla riots.

That episode, in which Jones referred on air to Lebanese Muslims in 2005 as “vermin” who “rape and pillage”, ultimately resulted in a guilty finding against him for racial vilification.

“I’m the person that’s led this charge here. No one seemed to want to know about North Cronulla and now it’s gathered to this,” Jones said following the riots.
 
Infamous case that English toilet one..
The thing I never bought about that story: he claimed he had his pants unzipped at the public sink in that crapper to somehow ‘assist him to urinate’. Turn it up, even if alone, who has the old fella out at the sink of any bathroom to assist with the process of shaking hands with the unemployed in the first place? As if.

Apparently he was so panicky when that whole story broke.. But yeah, I agree 100%. Plus the area, including the toilet, was a well known gay beat. That is why the Police where watching the area.
 
Everyone in the industry knew what he was like & most did nothing.

The person who took over his radio slot, suck holed him to get the job & now is 'shocked'
 
As much as I never really liked or gave a shit about him, 24 charges over 18 years looks like a conspiracy, the allegations seem vague.
Couldnt they be more precise on what they are on about?
Looks like he has been charged with being a grub for the past twenty years, Police perspective isnt always up to era or allow for diversity.
Did they receive twenty assault complaints or not?
What are they?
The old poof is 83, why wait to now?

Ben F? Yeah his dad John first got Jones his 2UE gig as John was tight with John Brennan who ran things back then. More than 40 years around Jones and no-one suspected a thing. Please. I know people who knew Robert Hughes (the convicted pedo from Hey Dad!) who wouldn’t invite Hughes to home gatherings if kids were around. Bottom line: they all knew (or at least strongly suspected). What I don’t get is why didn’t Jones just come out 30 years ago and say ‘I’m gay’ and be done with it? Would’ve been as shocking as a fart in a lift. Then all the innuendo (pardon the pun) would’ve stopped. Personal pride maybe. Odd.

They all knew on the Hey Dad set & let it happen.

Only ones that did anything were Ben Oxenbould and Simone Buchanan.

All the others turned a blind eye, including Julie McGregor.

Yeah, the culture of ‘speak up and maybe never work again’ is hideous - but slowly changing, thankfully.

He was a protected species. All were scared of him. He also had important power.

Some people never report it.

Some, I think did report it & the investigation went nowhere.
