Company Statement from Macquarie Media Chairman, Russell Tate COMPANY STATEMENT FROM MACQUARIE MEDIA CHAIRMAN, RUSSELL TATE Saturday 17 August 2019 On Thursday on his 2GB and 4BC breakfast show, Alan Jones made certain comments in respect of New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, which caused offence to many people. Recognising the offence caused by his remarks, Alan on Friday publicly apologised for them. In his apology, Alan recognised that his comments were “careless, unnecessary and wrong”, and “should have been more clearly thought out”. He indicated that he had apologised sincerely to Prime Minister Ardern for any offence given, and had certainly not intended to suggest any harm through his comments. Notwithstanding his apologies, I have today discussed the matter with Alan and advised him that any recurrence of commentary of this nature will result in the termination of his contract.

  • Getting Our Community on the #Righttrack to a Fair Process
    Getting our community on the #RightTrack to a fair process There is a growing disquiet across our community aout the Goeret’s treatet of people seeking asylum. Over time we have seen health professionals, grandmothers, mums, teachers, young people and many more feel increasingly at odds with these policies and speak out. Businesses are prioritising their morality above profit and walking away from investment in detention. Communities are coming together to share their concern and take action; something very powerful is happening on the ground and you can feel the shift. During the et oths the ASRC’s #RightTrack Campaign will work with communities to elevate their voices. We believe that when people connect with their values and trusted voices provide accurate information, the human impact and fundamental unfairness of these policies becomes obvious and the need for change becomes unstoppable. Take action: Spread the message to get us on the #RightTrack You can join the #RightTrack campaign and add your voice to the call for a fair refugee determination process that supports people seeking asylum and helps create a stronger, more inclusive community. You can be part of the #RightTrack campaign by speaking out. Let your local MPs know that you want change. Call talkback radio or write a letter to the editor. Make your voice heard. What we are saying: The community wants our political representatives to commit to a refugee determination process that treats all people fairly and with respect. The refugee determination process should be clear, accessible and transparent and be the same for all people regardless of when or how they arrived.

  • Commercial Radio
    MEDIA RELEASE 8 May 2009 Melbourne first on the east coast to switch on digital radio Commercial radio stations in Melbourne MIX, GOLD, SEN, 3AW, 3MP, FOX, MAGIC, TRIPLE M, NOVA, VEGA, Sport 927, Radar, Pink Radio, Koffee and NovaNation create radio history on Monday, 11 May 2009 when they begin broadcasting the first permanent DAB+ digital radio services on the east coast of Australia. Joan Warner, chief executive officer of Commercial Radio Australia the industry body that has driven the move to digital radio said Monday was another milestone for the industry in Australia following the switch on of DAB+ digital radio in Perth last week. “The possibilities for digital radio in the sport loving state of Melbourne are very exciting. AFL final calls on radio with scrolling text scores and stats or the Melbourne Cup with photos of winners or pause and then rewind if you missed the end of the race - these are all possible with the new capabilities of digital radio,’ said Ms Warner. “DAB+ services in Melbourne have been greatly anticipated with many of the digital radio manufacturers such as Pure, Sangean, Teac, Roberts and Yamaha based in Melbourne. The digital radio switch on in Perth went very smoothly and traffic to our www.digitalradioplus.com.au website has been very high with listeners seeking more information about digital radio.” “The switch on of digital radio is a culmination of seven years work with the Federal Government, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), commercial broadcasters, the ABC and SBS, together with retailers and manufacturers of digital radios to ensure a comprehensive and coordinated switch on of a compelling new way of listening to radio,” said Ms Warner.

  • SUBMISSION by COMMERCIAL RADIO AUSTRALIA Capacity Of
    SUBMISSION BY COMMERCIAL RADIO AUSTRALIA Capacity of Communication Networks and Emergency Warning Systems to Deal with Emergencies and Natural Disasters Inquiry by the Senate Environment and Communications References Committee 21 April 2011 SUBMISSION BY COMMERCIAL RADIO AUSTRALIA 1. Introduction Commercial Radio Australia (CRA) welcomes the opportunity to participate in the Senate Inquiry relating to the capacity of communication networks and emergency warning systems to deal with emergencies and natural disasters. CRA is the peak national industry body for Australian commercial radio stations. CRA has 260 members and represents approximately 99% of the commercial radio broadcasting industry in Australia. The commercial radio industry is keen to offer as much assistance as possible in times of emergency and recognizes its responsibilities as one of the nation‟s major information sources during crises. Broadcast media is the most effective means by which emergency service organisations communicate with the public when critical events occur. Commercial radio plays a particularly important role, as 80% of Australians listen to commercial radio. The local commercial radio stations therefore play a critical role in the dissemination of information to the local community in times of emergency. We set out below a brief outline of the regulation and agreements which detail the way in which commercial radio assists in emergencies, together with examples from recent emergencies of the way in which this operates in practice. We also outline the challenges that stations have faced in dealing with the recent emergencies. 2. Regulatory framework Commercial Radio Codes of Practice The commercial radio industry is heavily regulated by the Federal Government.
