The Difference Between Act of Indecency, Indecent Assault, Sexual Act and Sexual Touching

Retired broadcaster Alan Jones certainly had a lengthy and controversial career, perhaps most notably during his time as the breakfast radio host on Sydney radio station 2GB from 2002 until 2020.

During that time, Jones was repeatedly accused of misogyny over his demeaning comments towards female politicians such as New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard, as well as racism over his comments towards Muslim Cleric Keysar Trad, and his description of Lebanese people as 'vermin' and 'scum'.

Jones was ultimately ordered to pay Trad $10,000 in damages for his remarks, and it is widely accepted that his comments against Lebanese people coupled with his repeated calls for 'white Australians' and bikie gangs to descend on Cronulla incited the appalling riots in the beachside suburb in 2005.
