Chris Masters, in his biography Jonestown, reveals that Alan Jones wielded power more through fear than respect, impacting politics and media significantly.
Masters noted, 'Jones had all manner of princes and premiers bowing before him,' demonstrating the significant political influence he commanded in New South Wales.
Despite his influence, one politician, Malcolm Turnbull, did stand up to Jones, though Masters comments on the long-term consequences Turnbull faced for it.
The loyalty of Jones' audience was so immense that politicians believed opposing him had no advantages, fearing they would lose before his influential listeners.
