  • The great sense of humour of Allan Moffat

    The great sense of humour of Allan Moffat
    Nov 23 2025

    On 03 Feb, 2004 Bruce Mansfield and Philip Brady phoned Allan Moffatt to congratulate him on becoming an Australian citizen. Bruce and Phil were at an outside broadcast when they put the call through. This four minute chat shows the great sense of humour that Allan Moffatt had. Many people are paying tribute by recounting stories from his amazing career. But it's also great to know he was a fabulous guy as well.

  • John Laws speaks to a caller about Rolf Harris

    John Laws speaks to a caller about Rolf Harris
    Nov 9 2025

    With the passing of John Laws, I thought it worthwhile posting this to demonstrate what set him apart from all others. When Rolf Harris hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons, John took the time to explain to this caller why Rolf Harris paintings weren't wanted. Any other talkback show host would have dismissed the caller very quickly. Warning - it may be a little offensive to some ears.
