Green lights are ahead at the publishing intersection for Chris Masters' unauthorised biography of Alan Jones

Australian Love Letters: No wonder it's the book even the French are talking about
It all started on Monday night when the ABC's Media Watch revealed a leaked fan letter from the chairman of the Australian Broadcasting Authority, Professor David Flint, to broadcaster Alan Jones. Even Jones admitted it might have tainted the public's perception of him. But rival broadcaster John Laws went further, telling listeners of his nationally syndicated programme that Jones had told him at a dinner party that Jones had gone to Kirribilli House, and instructed John Howard to re-appoint David Flint or he would not have the support of Alan Jones in the next election. Mr Jones denied the allegation, and so did the Prime Minister. While John Laws continued to repeat his allegation, the slanging match might have died a natural death, were it not for Veteran Affairs Minister Danna Vale.
