“I really only spent about 35 days a year in the Highlands before Covid so I’ll be very happy in my flat,” Jones told The Daily Telegraph last month.

“When I’m condemned by impoverishment to looking out at the Opera House, the Harbor Bridge and Sydney Harbor every day, there really is no need for melancholy.”

Jones recently disappeared from the airwaves after being rushed to St Vincent’s Hospital to undergo spinal surgery.

The conservative political arsonist and former Australian Wallabies coach had battled crippling back pain for years and has not aired his daily shows and podcasts on Facebook and the ADH network since October.

His spokesman Jake Thrupp recently told Daily Mail Australia Jones that he would be taking a break over the summer but would be back in 2023.

“You corrected something that I think was stuffed last time. They assured him that he should be fine after this operation.

“He used a walking stick all year round. He’s hoping he can throw that away after this last surgery, but we’ll see.”

Jones retired from broadcasting in 2020 after a decade-long career at 2UE and 2GB, briefly joining Sky News Australia.

He left the network in 2021 and later announced he was going online with Alan Jones Direct To The People to produce daily shows, updates and podcasts.
