Boss of royal prank radio station under fire after flippant comment

The boss of the parent company of the radio station behind a notorious royal prank call has come under fire after dismissing the outcome with the phrase “s**t happens”.

Max Moore-Wilton, chairman of Southern Cross Media, appeared to play down the death of nurse Jacintha Saldanha three days after the prank by 2Day FM DJs Michael Christian and Mel Grieg as he spoke to shareholders in Australia.
