• Beneath the shell, Jones is a softie 
Charles Waterstreet, The Age (Melbourne) Alan Jones owes me money. Privately and under the radar, Jones puts his money in places where his mouth often isn’t. He preaches a strict Ayn Rand survival-of-the-fittest message but, off stage, he funds virtually every outstretched hand placed before him, pulls every string he can to help a random pensioner get the electricity put back on, personally pesters ministers to finish the sewerage in a suburban development that has ground to a halt.   Published: 2012-10-06
