The Garden City of Toowoomba has today begun publicly slandering Alan Jones, following the news that he has been found guilty of defaming prominent Toowoomba businesses over the last decade.
The Supreme Court in Brisbane found that Broadcaster Alan Jones, 2GB and 4BC defamed the popular local Wagner family in a series of radio broadcasts between 2014 and 2015.
The Toowoomba-based Wagner family has been awarded around $3.75 million in damages. Roughly $900k per sibling, after the radio host was found guilty of “extremely serious” defamatory allegations over the course of 27 broadcasts.
Justice Peter Flanagan found 2GB and Jones to have been quite reckless in the way they spoke about the Wagner family, and those who worked for them, and have today reminded the Southern media elites that it is “never a good idea to fuck with Toowoomba” and that “Toowoomba Remembers”.
Those allegations included that the Wagner family were responsible for the deaths of 12 people, including two children, in the 2011 Grantham floods when a quarry wall owned by the family collapsed.
The court also found the broadcasts alleged that the brothers had illegally built the Wellcamp Airport and had stolen airspace from the Oakey Army Base.
