My first job was in radio waaaay back in the 1980s and we did not mess around with the regulator. Swear words, smutty language just never entered a DJ's radar. It was only ever about the music. It saddens me to see attention-seeking people like Sandilands getting away with this kind of behaviour. But then TV has gone into decline too. If I remember right, the Howard government did away with an independent regulator and allowed TV networks to self-regulate. The first step on the downward slide was 'The Osbornes' and their inability to speak without constant expletives. Malcolm Turnbull was Communications Minister. Need I say any more.
