In December 2009 Derryn Hinch will pass a personal media milestone. He will celebrate his 50 years as a journalist.
He is a former police rounds reporter, former foreign correspondent, former newspaper editor, former host of national current affairs shows, former novelist, former radio host in Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide and former MIDDAY.
For 11 years Hinch covered both North and South America for papers and radio. He was there on the spot when man first went to the moon. He was there for such turning points in history as the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr and Bobby Kennedy. He was there when President Nixon resigned at the peak of the Watergate scandal.
In politics Hinch has met every Australian Prime Minister from Bob Menzies to Kevin Rudd.
Apart from writing and broadcasting he now leads a more tranquil (and sober) life with his wife Chanel and Scrappy Muttley Hinch, the family cavoodle.
Derryn covers the big issues affecting Victoria weekdays 4-6pm.
