Fed: Cash for comment hearing resumes tomorrow
The cash-for-comment inquiry will resume tomorrow after a two-week break and two resignations
from radio 2UE, the station currently under scrutiny.
The ABA has been investigating the sponsorship deals of 2UE's two stars, JOHN LAWS
and ALAN JONES.
The hearing resumes after a tumultuous fortnight where it lost its rugby league broadcast
rights, its program director JOHN BRENNAN and night host STAN ZEMANEK.
The inquiry was instigated after revelations on ABC's Media Watch that Mr LAWS was
being paid by Australia's big banks for positive editorial comment.
Sponsorship deals worth more than $3 million to Mr LAWS and more than $1 million to
Mr JONES have been scrutinised by the ABA.
