Ben Fordham has claimed Triple M radio host Lawrence Mooney knew the lockdown rules before going on a holiday in Byron Bay earlier this month. On Thursday, Mooney was forced to issue a grovelling apology for breaking the rules, and said he felt 'like a goose' for 'not realising' he wasn't allowed to holiday in the popular tourist town, when he should have been in lockdown at his home in the Southern Highlands. In a stunning twist on Friday, 2GB host Fordham alleged the host was aware of the restrictions - before playing damming audio of Mooney reading out the lockdown rules on his show before jetting off to Byron Bay.
