Barbara: Alan Jones' talkback caller 'revealed' November 7, 2014 Rachel Browne Social Affairs Reporter After 24 hours of intense media scrutiny, Fairfax Media received a tip-off that "Barbara" was in fact managed by Ignatius Corboy, a 22-year-old actor who works for his family's stock-feed business in Wangaratta, south-west of Albury. When contacted, "Barbara" said she'd been stunned by the media attention after her call to Jones, in which she derided the people who booed Liberal party politicians at the memorial service for Gough Whitlam. "I keep my political views private," she said. "But I'm a very liberal woman if you know what I mean." Mr Corboy, her close friend and manager, believes his client may be destined for bigger things.

As for his charge, the 86-year-old widowed mother-of-five is a bit overwhelmed by the fuss. "I didn't think it would gain such attention," she said. "And the funny thing is, I actually prefer listening to Lawsie." When the story broke, readers contacted Fairfax Media to say they had regularly heard "Barbara" on the John Laws show on 2SM. On Thursday, Barbara railed against the youth of today on Jones' show on 2GB, during a rant about their behaviour at Whitlam's memorial service. "Absolute disgrace, you see 'em there with their scarves and their soy lattes and their problems that they have with their university funding. Go out and get a job!", she cried, before Jones realised his leg was being pulled. Speaking from her Wangaratta home on Friday, "Barbara" said she simply wanted to make the point that it was very rude to boo a politician. Fairfax Media was put in touch with her and Mr Corboy through Mr Corboy's brother, Marty, who, unlike "Barbara", wears his political colours on his sleeve as the state councillor for the National Party's Indi Federal Electoral Division Council. .
