Controversial radio personality Alan Jones has been immortalised in a new mural by street artist Scott Marsh in Chippendale in Sydney after Jones said that Scott Morrison should 鈥渟hove a sock down鈥� New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Arden鈥檚 throat at a Pacific leaders forum in Tuvalu.
鈥淪he鈥檚 a clown, Jacinda Ardern. A complete clown,鈥� Jones said on air, earlier this month, 鈥淚 just wonder whether Scott Morrison is going to be fully briefed to shove a sock down her throat.鈥�
鈥淭his lightweight New Zealand Prime Minster Jacinda Ardern is challenging Scott Morrison over climate change. Now I hope Scott Morrison gets tough here with a few backhanders 鈥� hasn鈥檛 got a clue this woman.鈥�
Jones鈥� comments were widely condemned, including by Morrison, and resulted in a number of advertisers walking away from Jones鈥� program.
Marsh told News.com.au that he 鈥渢hought [Jones’ comments about Ardern] were pretty distasteful, and he鈥檚 said a lot of things to that kind of effect in the past.鈥�
鈥淎lan鈥檚 got a pretty big ego I think, so we鈥檒l see if he loves it or he hates it, I鈥檓 not quite sure yet.”
Marsh has previously painted murals of Tony Abbott and George Pell that have been widely covered in the media and he uses his art to provoke discussion about current events.
Marsh recently painted a mural of Pell in handcuffs at a car parking structure only 50 metres from St Mary鈥檚 Cathedral in response to his child sex conviction. However the mural was quickly painted over after complaints from members of the public.
Marsh was also responsible for a mural in Erskineville depicting George Michael as a saint that was vandalised by Christians in November of 2017.
