Alan Jones ordered to pay for vicious and spiteful attack on Aussie family

We recently reported on the Wagner family of Toowoomba who were the recipients of a damages awards in excess of $3 million after a court found that Nine Network Australia and their journalist Nicholas Cater falsely reported that the family was responsible for floods that led to the destruction of a town and the deaths of 12 people.

But last year, Alan Jones and his broadcasters were similarly found guilty of defaming the family after the radio shock-jock repeatedly made "vicious and spiteful" comments about them on-air.

The court ruled in favour of the Wagners and ordered Jones and two radio stations to pay more than $3 million dollars in damages at that time.

Wilfully blind to the truth
