Mark Speakman
NSW Leader of the Opposition
MEDIA STATEMENT
John Laws was the voice that shaped a nation. He dominated Australian radio for decades, setting the standard for talkback and challenging politics, culture and public debate like no one else.
He took on governments, held politicians to account and spoke up for ordinary Australians when others wouldn’t.
From the golden microphone to the Valvoline ads, he became part of our national identity.
He stood for common sense, free speech and pride in this country.

Farewell John Laws, a giant of broadcasting.
