Lawyers acting for former radio broadcaster Alan Jones have issued a Concerns Notice to kick of defamation proceedings against Nine Newspapers, and its reporter Kate McClymont, after the publication of “demonstrably false” allegations of indecent assault committed by Mr. Jones.

Mr. Jones’ lawyers, Mark O’Brien Legal, issued an initial statement just hours after the story was published on the online front page of major newspaper mastheads The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.
