Hinch Latest
TWEET FROM HINCH: "News from the West Wing. Derryn Hinch Unplugged. Surgery a success. Stent installed. Feeling fine. Thanks for the Tweets."
EARLIER: Derryn Hinch underwent a medical procedure on Thursday morning following last week's liver transplant.
Hinch was just an hour away from being sent home yesterday when he was told he needed to undergo a further procedure.
It's believed there's a partial blockage of his bile duct and a camera and dye will be used to investigate.

Un-Bloody-Believable
For a so-called man of words, you’d think I could come up with something a bit more fitting for such an occasion. Something that would do a medical miracle more justice than a tabloid newspaper headline more akin to a Grand Final draw than a life-giving event.

On a similar Tuesday a few weeks ago Twitter was over-heating, emails were pouring into Canberra by the thousand and radio talkback lines were justifiably red hot.

This is a hard one because veteran funny man Jerry Lewis means well and he has raised millions of dollars for muscular dystrophy sufferers over many decades.

I went to bed last night thinking: ‘I’ve got eighteen more sleeps before a magistrate either sends me to jail or sentences me to home detention’.

I am finding this hard to believe. So is the family of a sex offender’s victim. Because it is unexpected good news. A Court of Appeal has rejected a predator’s disgraceful appeal against a sentence which, because of a technicality, was far too light anyway.

The name is Brown. The colour is Green. And tomorrow Bob Brown becomes the second most powerful politician in Australia when the Greens take control of the Senate.

If you need any additional proof [and 90% of you don’t] about my campaign to get rid of a bad law that allows serial sex offenders to have their identifies hidden, then read what happened in a Melbourne Court yesterday.

It’s taken a long time but we’ve had some success lately in getting non-Australians deported back to where they came from after completing their jail sentences. We haven’t got Madafferi yet.

The Victorian DHS is under fire, yet again. This time at a Coroner’s inquest in Ballarat into the death of a two-year-old girl.
Wednesday, June 29, 2011 - 1st Edition
A rapist and attempted murderer today got a minimum sentence of only 16 years behind bars for what he did to a 14-year-old girl who trusted him as a church youth leader. Sixteen years. What he did to that young girl will affect her physically and mentally for the next 60 years.

You don’t have to read the latest polls to know that one year after grabbing the Prime Minister’s job from Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard is on the nose out there in voter-land.
Tuesday, June 28, 2011 - 1st Edition
There was a disturbing story which appeared exclusively in The Age while I was on leave that surprisingly received very little, if any, coverage in other media outlets.
Monday, June 27, 2011 - 2nd Edition
It's good to be back. Back in the Drive chair at 3AW… but for how long I really don't know. I preface everything these days by saying: 'If I'm not dead, not in hospital, not in jail – or now, possibly -- not doing home detention.

I've talked before how Twitter can be dangerous , defamatory, mischievous, petty, poisonous – or many of those things combined.

When I was doing interviews to promote my new book, Human Headlines- My 50 Years in the Media, I was asked many times about changes to journalism and the whole world of communications.

I am under no illusions. If it hadn't been for my serious medical condition I would be in jail right now instead of writing this. And Magistrate Charles Rozencwagj made no bones about that when I appeared before him today after being convicted on four charges of breaching Suppression Orders involving serial sex offenders.
Here, in several separate segments are the arguments I put forward today in the Melbourne Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Charles Rozencwagj:

Officially, the word is that the Federal Immigration Minister Chris Bowen has reviewed the case of British-born paroled rapist Leslie Neil Cunliffe and decided that on character grounds his visa has been revoked and he has been taken into custody. Deportation proceedings will be instigated.

He had to go. But Simon Overland's, not unexpected and virtually inevitable, departure today provides more questions than answers. And if the departing Victorian Chief Commissioner and Premier Baillieu and Police Minister Ryan think their terse, obfuscating, media outings will placate the public, they are whistling Dixie.

A follow up to my story yesterday about more scandals within the Victorian Department of Human Services. I revealed that at Fairfield DHS last Thursday there was an attempted rape on a 23-year-old female officer by a convicted rapist in custody.
Wednesday, June 15, 2011
Judging by the amount of scandal and stuff-ups that have swirled around the Department of Human Services in recent years you'd think they'd at least change their name. What goes on there is often inhuman and the services at times non-existent.
Tuesday, June 14, 2011
Officially, Hinch Says won't be appearing for a couple of weeks while I'm on leave. But, if something gets me steamed up, I'll be back. I'll still be on Twitter: @HumanHeadline.
I'll be in Magistrate's Court Tuesday, June 21st, for a pre-sentencing hearing on those four convictions for breaching Suppression Orders involving naming serial sex offenders. And, any day The Call could come for a life-saving liver transplant.

What a fascinating night on television last night. Fascinating but tawdry.Like watching not one but two train wrecks in slow motion. There was the so-called St. Kilda schoolgirl piling lie on lie on Channel Ten's 7p.m. Project. And then, seconds later, getting caught denouncing her own litany of lies when she thought the camera was turned off. Talk about 'Oh, what a tangled web we weave'.

Earlier in the week on 3AW I invoked the Watergate scandal when talking about the latest scandal involving Victorian Premier Ted Baillieu, his top cops, the phone tapping, and OPI spying.

Not sure how quickly I can dispense with this story today. The latest development in the continuing grotty saga of Ricky Nixon and the so-called St. Kilda schoolgirl.

I don't think that it's because I am an atheist and I don't think it's because I am a firm believer in the separation of church and state. But I am really surprised by the lack of protest about the way taxpayers are spending millions of dollars on religious education in state schools.

About this time last week I wrote: Let's not get carried away here. Let's not break out the champagne. The campaign to end the cruel slaughter of Australian cattle in Indonesia has only just begun. And it could get side tracked or stymied.

Hinch Says will not appear today. I'm out of action for medical reasons. Not because I have received The Call for a liver transplant. Just a scheduled series of consultations to make sure the house in still in good enough condition to install the new appliance. If it is ever delivered.

I had a big win in court on Friday. And not just in the court of public opinion. In a real courtroom.
Friday, June 3, 2011
Ok. Let's get the facts out there first.
Today in the Magistrate's Court I was convicted on four charges of breaching Suppression Orders and acquitted of one.

Before I go into details on a court story which appalled me I want you to imagine a hypothetical situation. I am a 28-year-old Australian student. My government generously sends me on a scholarship to study in Libya. |
