Outspoken Sydney broadcaster Alan Jones showed a humble side yesterday when he apologised to ACT police for his inference they weren't doing their job during the Convoy of No Confidence.
He also expressed regret for saying Prime Minister Julia Gillard should be put in a chaff bag and hoisted out to sea.
Mr Jones, who was addressing the National Press Club on the issue of national food safety and the ''invasion'' of Australia by mining and coal seam gas companies, said he did not mean to cause offence to police or the office of Prime Minister.
In August, Mr Jones addressed a rally outside Parliament House in which he alleged the Australian Federal Police was stopping trucks at the NSW border to prevent them from taking part in the Convoy of No Confidence. He described it as ''the most disgraceful thing that's ever been done to democracy''.
