RIP Derryn Hinch. He was controversial but I liked his no bullshit attitude, and naming and shaming pedo priests.
What pisses me off about Mr Hinch is that he got a kidney transplant by pulling a LOT of strings to go to the top of the list, then once the transplant had taken, he went out and celebrated by getting drunk. Can't argue with his campaign against pedos and the like, but he could also do major cognitive dissonance without blinking an eye. Not sorry he's gone - one good thing doesn't imo balance out his commitment to being oppositional for the publicity feelgoods in the worst way.
EDIT: he lived before clicks and views, but that was what drove him. An obligate hypocrite of the deepest dye. FURTHER EDIT: and a close friend of Rolf Harris.
Yeah agree the organ donation was not respected by him. I didn’t know about the Rolf Harris connection. Ick.
Yeah, major cognitive dissonance there.
Me too. Name and shame.
a real loss 😔
