The Chaser project new ad onto Opera House as Jones apologises for Louise Herron interview
Alan Jones has apologised on his 2GB Breakfast show for comments he made in an interview with Opera House CEO Louise Herron last week.
The apology came hours after The Chaser had taken matters into their own hands, with a stunt that saw them project what was “apparently” Jones’ real phone number onto a number of Sydney landmarks including the Opera House.
Overnight the comedy group shared footage of some members driving around Sydney in a car with a projector attached, projecting the words “Advertise Here: Call Alan” onto the NSW Art Gallery, Parliament House and the Opera House.
“See… it really is a great billboard. Jorn Utzon would be so proud.”
