I agree with you that as a person Ray Hadley is a blight on humanity. But his destructive personal attacks on others only occurs on his radio program in the mornings. He is at radio station 2GB, which is owned by John Singleton, a vulgar entrepreneur who demands ratings at any price. So Hadley, and his preceding breakfast show colleague and arch conservative Alan Jones (former coach of rugby union and rugby league), have found that personal vilification of other public figures is good for ratings. I am sure that they also enjoy doing it. But both have been sued for defamation (Andrew Voss sued Ray Hadley for defamation over a Hadley outburst on radio 2GB in which he called Voss, amongst other things, a "moron" and a "grub" for saying that a statue of Ray Warren recently erected did not look much like Ray Warren. In an out of court settlement which avoided a trial, Hadley apologised to Voss on air, and allegedly paid Voss a six figure sum, according to the Australian media. Subsequently Voss did not have his contract renewed by Channel Nine).

However when Hadley is calling a rugby league game he just sticks to the task at hand and does a very good job at it.
