Ray Hadley’s wife withdraws AVO lodged against him and son
Radio shock jock Ray Hadley’s wife Suzanne lodged an apprehended violence order (AVO) against him and their son Daniel Hadley today and quickly withdrew them following further discussions with police.
According to The Sydney Morning Herald, the domestic violence allegations by Hadley’s second wife against the Radio 2GB morning host and his son Daniel, a 24-year-old police officer, were lodged on Suzanne Hadley’s behalf by NSW Police.
Court documents show that Detective Sergeant David Fairclough, of the Kuringai police made the application, and it was set to be heard on March 4.
However the application was withdrawn later this afternoon.
This is hardly a surprise.
It is standard practice that NSW Police apply for AVOs following domestic violence incidents but no doubt after Mrs Hadley discovered that by filing an AVO against her son, who is a serving police officer, she is essentially ruining his career she reconsidered. The reason is that under NSW firearm legislation no person with an enforceable AVO is permitted to carry a firearm and his this extends to police officers also. By having an active AVO against her son Daniel to consequences are far more severe than to an ordinary citizen because a cop without a gun has limited options.
so mumbrella are now reporting updates on marital issues for media people. Rather low isn’t it or is this selective reporting. Come on mumbrella, you are much better than this
paul – I hear what you are saying and Mumbrella should not report on private issues. This incident involves potential and alleged domestic violence and, as a society, we should not treat domestic violence as a “private matter” that stays behind closed doors. Let’s hope 2GB can pay for some professional assistance for the Hadley family.
Mumbrella. Please don’t start stooping to these lows!
You are a great source of info about what matters in the media industry. Any media personality’s private life is not that important.
If, however, Hadley was convicted of a crime, that would be a different matter, but please, unless a conviction takes place, leave the tabloid journalism to the tabloids.
I think it’s pertinent that Mumbrella runs this story. NSW Police regulations are that once an incident of domestic violence or threat, harassment, intimidation etc is made Police are obligated to act and, even if the victim changes their mind, Police have to proceed.
This regulation is in place so that victims are not threatened or pressured to revoke their complaint.
Hence there is a major story here – why did the Police revoke the AVO? Because it was against a major radio celebrity? This needs to be investigated further.
