Episode Details

Derryn Hinch, the iconic “Human Headline” who shaped Australian media for decades, is being laid to rest in a state funeral today — a fitting tribute to a man who lived boldly, spoke truthfully, and left an indelible mark on broadcasting, politics, and public consciousness. At 82, he passed peacefully in his sleep, fulfilling a lifelong wish, and just days before, he shared a youthful throwback photo — a reminder of his enduring spirit. His funeral at The Timber Yard in Port Melbourne will feature Darren James as MC and Ray Martin delivering the eulogy, with media giants and political figures in attendance. From his legendary tenure at 3AW to founding the Derryn Hinch Justice Party and serving as a Senator, Hinch’s passion for justice and storytelling never wavered. Prime Minister Albanese called him a man of “color and courage,” whose fearless pursuit of truth defined his legacy — both in the studio and in the Senate.
