Episode Details

Derryn Hinch, the “human headline,” is being laid to rest in a state funeral in Melbourne, honoring his decades-long career as a fearless broadcaster and former senator whose unfiltered truth-telling reshaped Australian media and politics. At 82, after openly battling health issues, Hinch leaves behind a legacy of justice advocacy, political activism, and radio dominance — from his early days as a journalist to his time in Parliament with his Justice Party. Tributes pour in from across the political spectrum, with Prime Minister Albanese calling him a man of “character and courage” who never shied from hard truths. The Victorian government’s tribute celebrates his unwavering commitment to justice, while thousands are expected to gather at the Timber Yard in Port Melbourne to pay their respects to a titan of Australian public life.
