A tireless crusader of the voiceless & a nemesis of criminals, his brush with the law came in 1987, when he was found in contempt of court and jailed for 12 days for revealing the identity of a convicted child molester in the midst of a criminal trial in which identity was an issue.

1979

Upon his return to Australia, Hinch signed on as morning announcer at Radio 3AW in Melbourne in 1979. Almost immediately he set the industry alight by sky-rocketing to the top of the morning ratings, becoming the undisputed King of Melbourne radio.

1963

One of four children, the opinionated, sometimes controversial journalist, newspaper editor, writer, radio announcer, current-affairs TV host, Derryn Nigel Hinch, grew up in New Plymouth on the North Island of New Zealand. He has always dreamed of one day becoming a journalist. And so it was that, at the age of 15, he landed his first job with the local Teranaki Herald.
