Unacceptable
The Age August 3, 2008

In conjunction with ALSO and other key community groups, JOY 94.9 gave it’s full support to an Open Letter that ran in The Age on August 3, 2008 in relation to Jeff Kennett's comments. The “Unacceptable” response was the result of discussions between many groups on the best way to make a united and public comment. As Australia’s only gay & lesbian radio station, and the largest volunteer based organisation in our community, the station had a duty to act on this matter in an open and public way. An action like this does require money and it is hoped it is clear why it was felt that it was important for the station to act in this instance.
