Live: Ray Hadley resumes giving evidence at radio 'rival' Alan Jones's trial

Retired 2GB host Ray Hadley has resumed testifying at the trial of his rival, veteran broadcaster Alan Jones. During cross-examination, Hadley revealed that he had sent text messages to a former colleague expressing his desire for Jones to be "destroyed." Jones denies all allegations against him, with the trial ongoing in the NSW Local Court.

The court has previously heard from Complainant C, a former colleague of Jones', who accused the 85-year-old of indecent assault and sexual touching in 2008. A judge also heard that Hadley and Complainant C had a close relationship before Complainant C began regularly communicating with Jones. Hadley denied encouraging Complainant C to report the allegations to police, but admitted to harboring animosity towards Jones at the time. He also stated he would "tear his supporters apart" if his allegations were published.
