John Laws dead at 90: Tributes flow to flawed broadcasting genius
"We all make mistakes": John Laws during an ABC interview, confessing to some mistakes behind the microphone
“Hello world” were the familiar words that John Laws always greeted his army of listeners with at the start of each day’s broadcast.
The radio icon has died at the age of 90, just 12 months since he turned off his radio microphone for the last time.
The man nicknamed “the golden tonsils” ended his radio journey at Sydney’s 2SM and network stations.
Although he was best known to Sydney and Brisbane audiences, Laws started his radio journey in regional Victoria at 3BO in Bendigo in 1953.
