Derryn Nigel Hinch is a New Zealand-born Australian-citizen media personality, best known for his work on Melbourne radio and television. He was the host of 3AW's Drive radio show until December 2012 and he is currently a National Public Affairs commentator for the Seven Network on Sunday Night, Today Tonight and Sunrise. He has also been a police reporter, foreign correspondent, newspaper editor, television show host, actor novelist and vintner. Hinch is a critic of Australia's criminal justice system; his idealism and outspokenness, and perhaps especially his attitudes towards various sex offender laws in Australia, have generated substantial controversy throughout his career. In January 2014, Hinch was found in contempt of court and served a 50 day jail sentence.
