Known as the talkback radio king of 2GB, Alan has spent decades shaping public opinion, championing causes he believes in, and influencing political and corporate landscapes with his outspoken and conservative views.
Alan's varied and colorful career began on a Queensland dairy farm, followed by work as a teacher, a stint in politics, and a successful career as a rugby coach in both union and league. Renowned for his unyielding advocacy and personal touch, he famously responds to every letter he receives.
In the words of Alan himself, “The aim of power is to lift people.” This bust stands as a tribute to his remarkable impact on Australian society, celebrating his 34 years in radio and his many achievements.
