A former colleague of Alan Jones has told the Local Court the veteran broadcaster's attention towards a complainant was neither sexual or romantic.
Mr Jones has pleaded not guilty to 22 charges of indecent assault and sexual touching of six men.
Witness Jason Morrison denied "tailoring" his evidence to suit Mr Jones after the prosecution raised a concern that he was omitting critical pieces of evidence.
A former radio colleague of Alan Jones has admitted joking about the veteran broadcaster being generous and giving attention to a younger colleague at a Christmas lunch, but has denied seeing an indecent assault.
Former 2GB host and producer Jason Morrison is giving evidence in the criminal trial of his long-time colleague Mr Jones, who has pleaded not guilty to 22 charges of indecent assault and sexual touching involving six men.
Mr Morrison has been questioned by the Crown, which made an application to cross-examine its own witness after raising concerns he was deliberately omitting key evidence about a Christmas lunch, where one count of indecent assault allegedly occurred.

The court has heard Complainant C, a younger former colleague of Mr Jones, has alleged his boss "rested" his hand on his crotch for "most of" a lunch at a Sydney restaurant in 2008.
Under questioning from prosecutor Georgina Wright SC, Mr Morrison told the NSW Local Court he and other lunch guests made jokes about the complainant and Mr Jones looking like a "great couple".
"The joking was about the defendant appearing to give some romantic attention to [Complainant C] wasn't it?"
"Well, that was our joke," Mr Morrison replied.
Later, when pressed on whether the attention was romantic or sexual, Mr Morrison denied both, but said there was "certainly a joke about Alan being generous" to Complainant C.

Another lunch guest gave evidence last week that Mr Morrison was present when someone said to Complainant C: "You copped a feel under the table, didn't you?"
