Legal action[edit]
Andrew Voss[edit]
In August, 2011, a statue of rugby league caller, Ray Warren, was unveiled in his home town of Junee. The statue was co-funded by Ray Hadley's radio station, 2GB, and Channel 9.[17] Andrew Voss, Channel 9's second rugby league caller at the time, behind Ray Warren, noted on Channel 9 rugby league chat show, The Sunday Roast, that the statue was not a great likeness of Warren.
Ray Hadley used his radio show for the two days following the comments to launch attacks on Voss, labelling him a "grub of the highest order", a "moron", and claiming that the gulf between Ray Warren and Andrew Voss, both as commentators and as men, was immeasurable.
It was claimed by some, including Voss himself, that Hadley's over-reaction was due to a perceived snub 17 years earlier, during their time at 2UE, when Voss was offered a television role over Hadley.[18]
Andrew Voss launched legal action against Ray Hadley which was settled in 2012,[19] with Andrew Voss receiving a "six-figure" payout, and a public apology from Ray Hadley.
Greg Smith[edit]
In April and May 2012, Ray Hadley, on his 2GB radio program, made allegations about then NSW Attorney General, Greg Smith, that he gave advice to his friend, Father Finian Egan, that an alleged victim of child sex abuse perpetrated by Egan in the 1970s and 1980s was seeking a one million dollar payment.[20]
Smith took Hadley to court, with both parties later dropping the case in exchange for Hadley refraining to broadcast further on the matter.[21][22]
MP Ray Williams[edit]
Hadley was successfully sued by Liberal Hawkesbury MP Ray Williams. In July 2012 Hadley branded Williams a liar in a fabricated story over a scandal involving allegations of embezzled funds at the Hills Shire. Hadley falsely claimed Williams had known about it as far back as 2008 and covered it up. Three weeks before the trial was due to start, Hadley allegedly aggravated the defamation in a spray about another Liberal MP, Bart Bassett, and his appearance at ICAC. This prompted Williams' barrister, one of Sydney's most formidable silks, Tom Blackburn, SC, to file a contempt of court motion, given that the spray had occurred as a jury was about to be empanelled. Hadley told his audience he looked "forward to any Supreme Court acting involving Mr Williams or any other politician in NSW. It might be the only time in history that a so-called shock jock's credibility is running higher than a politician's credibility". The defamation trial was due to begin on Monday just passed (8 September) at 10am. At the 11th hour, the parties sought an adjournment and a settlement was reached. On Wednesday morning Hadley issued a retraction, which he delivered live to air. Williams said the terms of the settlement were confidential, but added: "It's been a long drawn-out process for me and my family. But we are pleased to advise that we are completely satisfied with the outcome."[23]
Ahmed court case[edit]
Hadley was successfully sued by Kim Anne Ahmed. Her husband, Emran Ahmed, was convicted in July 2007 of aggravated indecent assault over an incident in which he forced himself on a 17-year-old girl who had just begun working at his fish-and-chip shop. Hadley attacked Mrs Ahmed on air because she continued to support her husband, and because she took out an AVO against the young victim's father, who allegedly began "circling" the seafood shop.
In an interview with the victim's father in May 2008, following a failed District Court appeal by Mr Ahmed, Hadley described the seafood shop owner's supporters as "vile".
Later in the broadcast, Hadley said that if either Mr Ahmed or his "grub of a wife" still owned their shop, "they should completely and utterly be sent out of business". 2GB refused to cover legal costs in connection with this case [24]
Ray Hadley was ordered to pay $280,000 to Mrs Ahmed, including interest and legal costs, with the judge defending the unusually high payout by saying "The publicly inflicted harm entitles her [Mrs Ahmed] to an award which vindicates her reputation and marks the baselessness of the defamation", and describing Ray Hadley and his broadcast as "from the gutter."[25] |
