For the last six months the Daily Telegraph has had a string of “exclusives” on tap and the Murdoch tabloid sends out regular emails to subscribers hyping up the stories, many of which are “taking aim”, “lashing” and “raging” over something the Labor government has done.

The man responsible for all the hype is not a news reporter. He is one Ray Hadley, the 70-year-old former shock jock who retired from 2UE late last year, walking away two years earlier than he planned after a 43-year broadcasting career and a record run of 20 years without losing a ratings survey.
