Snippet:
Born in regional Queensland in 1941 or 1943 - depending on who you ask - Alan Jones started his career as a school teacher. He ran for politics, and coached Australia's national rugby union team before becoming one of Australia’s highest-paid, most successful talkback radio presenters. 'You can't overestimate how important Alan Jones was for more than 30 years,' says Guardian Australia's Amanda Meade.
