BREAKING NEWS Ray Hadley drops a cryptic comment about Alan Jones's arrest and what will become 'obvious to everyone' in the future Ray Hadley addresses arrest of Alan Jones Hadley hints at mysterious retirement reasons READ MORE: Alan Jones arrested over string of lurid claims By DAVID SOUTHWELL FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA Published: 00:02 GMT, 18 November 2024 | Updated: 00:20 GMT, 18 November 2024 e-mail Ray Hadley has addressed the arrest of his long-time colleague Alan Jones and given a mysterious hint about why he can't talk about the case. Jones, 83, was arrested at his luxurious Circular Quay apartment in central Sydney on Monday morning in connection with allegations he indecently assaulted, groped or inappropriately touched young men. Hadley, who for many years worked with Jones at Sydney's top-rating radio station 2GB, made the shock announcement earlier this month that he was retiring after 43 years behind the microphone but denied it had anything to do with the arrest.
'To the narks who are contacting me about me leaving because of this and all the rest of it ...
this had nothing whatsoever to do with my decision,' Hadley, 70, said on Monday. 'It is completely devoid of the decision I've taken.' After telling listeners he intended to ring Nine newspaper journalist Kate McClymont, who broke the news of Jones's arrest on Monday, Hadley said he could not comment further on the matter 'because it will now be before the court'.
However, he also gave a cryptic explanation.
