Jason Morrison (radio broadcaster)

[2] Morrison's media career started with 2GB in 1989 at the age of 17 as a newsroom cadet and he has subsequently covered news and current affairs in all parts of the country and around the world.

Between 2008 and 2010, Morrison presented the Drivetime afternoon shift where he consistently held second-place in the market but never broke to number one.

Jones later remarked "I'm not surprised, Jason is hugely talented and one day I won't be here so it's in good hands".

[4] After three years at 2UE, Jason's contract was terminated at the end of 2013, after allegedly being told his conservative views and style did not fit with the future ideological direction of the Fairfax Media owned radio station.

The decision was considered a shock[5] and prompted wide discussion in the media,[6] including by direct rival Ben Fordham who said "2UE has rocks in their heads for getting rid of Morrison".

It was reported Morrison fell out with 2UE management after siding with controversial presenter Michael Smith who left the station after being prevented from broadcasting allegations about Julia Gillard's associations with the Australian Workers Union.

[13] Morrison also attempted to gain pre-selection to run as a Liberal Party candidate for the safe seat of Ku-ring-gai ahead of the 2015 NSW state election, but was unsuccessful.

[14] In 2005 while broadcasting on 2GB, Morrison described Sydney Islamic activist Keysar Trad as a "gutless and a disgraceful and dangerous individual who incited racism and violence".

[18] In 2015, Morrison made international news when he told a leading British Islamic scholar he was "unfit for civilised society.

Morrison argued that people who thought the publishers had brought the attack on themselves: "So, please, spare me the justification garbage for these terrorists being upset and just responding to provocation.
