Derryn,
As the saying goes never work with children or animals, you can add another saying and that is"Never take a break in radio as that’s when the news happens" EG;- Moran killed, Judy Moran charged and Ute Gate etc, etc.
Also I would like to ask you a question and I hope you don't get offended about it.
Allise Smoel had her Visa rejected to the U.S.A. because she pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing a bar mat, but yet you can travel to the U.S.A. and you served a term in prison. Did you have any problems travelling to the U.S.A in the beginning and how was that resolved?
My condolences at the death of your Father.
Kind Regards,
Vas Wiesner.
HINCH SAYS: No offence. My sentence carried a maximum penalty of less than 12 months (28 days after appeal) and by the time they put me in jail they had amended it from a criminal offence to a civil offence. And you can add Michael Jackson to that holiday news list.

Hello Derryn,
I heard you have been in Hawaii. Is there a lot of concern about the North Korean threat to fire a missile toward Hawaiian Islands? I believe that they were getting some sort of anti-missile "umbrella". The Americans will not put up with a missile landing within their territory. They will retaliate. It surprises me that our media seem uninterested at such a potentially world altering event.
Cheers,
Deb Fincher
HINCH SAYS: Deb. It was a major news talking point but the consensus was that, even if they fired one, it would fall about 600 miles short. Scant consolation. Especially because I was on Kaua’i, the most northern island and the closest to Korea.
Cheers. Derryn

Hello Derryn,
I agree with you re the death penalty.
People say it is not a deterrent but I disagree, if it makes just one person stop and think about the consequences of what they are contemplating it may just be the thing that brings them back to sanity and saves a life.
For the rest of the foul criminals that commit these vile acts regardless, then get rid of them and save the country the enormous Amount of money it takes to keep them in gaol.
All too often do gooders spend more time and effort on the guilty when they would be better served turning their attention to the victims.
Polititions in this country don’t have the courage to make hard decisions and take the easy way out and listen to loud minorities who in many cases don’t live in the real world and see the damage these people cause.
Regards
Phil Goding
HINCH SAYS: I know all the arguments against capital punishment. Used to espouse them for about 25 years. Then I read the autopsy report on Anita Cobby. It changed my mind. |
