Tony Tardio from 3AW is at it again towards Paul Bentley, who was a former emploee at AW.

Scanning through Tonyâs twitter he seems to be a bit of a dick, wannabe journalist but stuck as a newsreader. Which is sad, has become just another right wing mouthpiece since joining AW.

Tony hasnât recently joined AW.
Whatâs changed is his Twitter use.

Well yes heâs probably been there 20 odd years now, but he was one of the voices which piqued my interest in radio when I would spend hours with Walkman flicking around the dials. AM, FM, I listen to both of them.
Not sure if heâs changed, I donât follow him but he does seem overly critical vicpol as of theyâre running some kind of agenda to restrict what is reported and when. Maybe journos just arenât chasing stories enough and relying on media releases to provide content. Listening to an AW news bulletin would also suggest that style of news gathering.

And that failed Luke Bona experiment 
Luke was far more entertaining than Tony Moclair or Alan Pearsall.

And it was more than an âexperimentâ. It ran for a good couple of years and only ended when Luke was moved into daytime at 2UE in preparation for the launch of Talking Lifestyle (which he left not longer after the launch)
To be fair to Luke I think he made a reasonable effort to come across as an integral part of the 3AW team, even though he was Sydney-based. He regularly popped up on shows like Nightline and Remember When (I donât recall any of the 3AW overnight presenters doing likewise on 2UE shows whilst overnights were simulcast from Melbourne). There also seemed to be a good number of Melbourne callers and talking points.

When news of the Melbourne Storm salary cap breach broke, 3AW and 2UE linked up with each otherâs sports show at 6.00pm. Theyâd stated at the start of the show that there was some last minute technical logistics to sort out as it was something theyâd never really done before so they werenât really sure how it would play out on air.

$2000. No big deal. They probably spend that much on lunch.

Sounds like a staged thing. They know their audience isnât the smartest, how could they be to willingly tune to those two?
And hang on, Jones said it was for $2000 but later with Ray theyâre giving the caller $1000. So they couldnât get the number right themselves.
Otto seems to be that type of restaurant that charges 2k

Laws frequents Otto. Loves plugging it.
The menu looks fine. $40 - $60 for a main meets expectations for a top quality restaurant in a metro market.
The wine dinners are usual price of $140 - $185, great cream for the organisers.
Looks about right.
Itâs the alcohol that has the best margin.
