Witness tells Alan Jones trial he didn't see broadcaster kiss athlete

A former politician has given evidence in the trial of broadcaster Alan Jones, who has pleaded not guilty to 22 charges of indecent assault and sexual touching relating to six men.

The ex-politician was called to give evidence about one of the complainants, and was also questioned about an event a decade ago where Mr Jones allegedly kissed a prominent athlete, known as Complainant M, on or near his mouth.

Under cross-examination by Mr Jones's barrister Gabrielle Bashir SC, the former politician said he did not see anything inappropriate that night.

"You did not see Alan Jones kissing [Complainant M] on any part of his mouth that night did you?" Ms Bashir asked.

"No,"

"If you had seen Alan Jones kissing [Complainant M] on any part of his mouth that night you would remember seeing it, wouldn't you?"

"I would remember that,"

The prosecution has told the court that Complainant M received weekly flowers from Mr Jones for more than a year and regularly received text messages with declarations of love and affection.

The former politician also gave evidence about another complainant, Complainant C, a former colleague of Mr Jones, who has alleged Mr Jones kissed and touched him multiple times in 2008.

The politician told the court that Complainant C appeared uncomfortable at a meeting with Mr Jones in his Circular Quay apartment, and that his behaviour was "quite different to his normal behaviour".

"My recollection of that meeting was C was sunken and diminished,"

Another witness, a man who took over Complainant C's job after he left, has told the court that Mr Jones never behaved inappropriately towards him.

A statement from Complainant C's father-in-law was also read to the court, describing Complainant C telling him stories about his time working with Mr Jones, including that Mr Jones "pushed him up against a wall and kissed him".

Several friends of Complainant C have also given evidence about things the complainant told them about Mr Jones's behaviour, including one man who said Complainant C told him that Mr Jones had "reached into his crotch and squeezed it" while driving.

"Did you say anything in response?" crown prosecutor Emma Curran asked.

"I said… 'What the f***',"

"His response was to me, 'That's Alan, that's just his behaviour.'"
