Derryn Hinches justice party

[mellie]

I'll vote Hinch 1 then perhaps one Nation 2.

......Still yet to decide on others ...

Most importantly, we need to cast our votes with our conscience, vote for what we feel passionate about

For me. This is protecting kids and stopping immigration re-specific groups engaging in antisocial behaviours until we get the situation in hand.

[mellie]

No because like mechanic said, if we give the leading parties a reason to pull their heads in then perhaps they'll change.

I think we need more like Hinch in the Senate.

One in 5 Australian children endure sexual abuse before reaching 18.

This impacts on us all.

And as far as Hinch being a poor mans liberal, you couldn't be further from the truth.

A tad superficial to cast a vote in accordance with hairstyle and physique don't you think?

Family who saved Derryn Hinch’s life is furious he’s continuing to drink
THE family of the man whose organs saved Derryn Hinch’s life are “disappointed and disgusted” that he’s broken his vow never to drink again.

THE family of the man whose organs saved Derryn Hinch’s life are furious he’s broken his promise never to drink again.

The Senator and talkback radio star was fighting a losing battle with liver cancer when the Gardner family decided to donate him the organs of their brother and son in 2011.

Kimberly Gardner contacted Hinch, who is a self-confessed alcoholic, and they became friends. He was just two weeks away from death when Heath Gardner’s liver saved his life.

It was a beautiful gesture, and made for a heartwarming story.

Until Hinch started drinking again.

“I’m very disappointed and disgusted in the choice that he’s made to continue to drink alcohol,” Kimberley told A Current Affair.

“He was so lucky to get the operation to get the transplant in the first place and for him to abuse the gift he’s been given is outrageous.”

Kimberly Gardner is outraged that Derryn Hinch is drinking again after her brother's organs were donated to him.

She said it was “upsetting” to think he was polluting her brother’s liver.

“It just makes me think that he doesn’t appreciate what he’s been given at all and taking for granted,” she said.


“He’s been given a piece of my brother and he’s now abusing that completely.”

She was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt at first, but now says he’s broken a promise.

“Last time he drank, I thought it was a once-off. But now, it’s been put into concrete that he isn’t respecting it.”

Heath Gardner donated his organs to Derryn Hinch.

Senator Derryn Hinch dismissed criticism he was disrespecting his liver donor’s family after admitting to drinking two glasses of wine before hitting his head exiting an Uber.

The 74-year-old took a tumble as he stepped onto St Kilda Rd in Melbourne — suffering a “minor brain trauma” — and was kept overnight in The Alfred hospital for observation.

“I am embarrassed by it. You shouldn’t wear a knee brace and Cuban heels at the same time, but I’ve done it before,” he told reporters on Thursday. “Thank goodness the Uber driver and a passerby called an ambulance, which was here in four minutes. I was unconscious, knocked out, big lump on the back of my head.

“The next thing I knew, I was in The Alfred hospital with lots of tubes coming out of me and metal studs on me for the heart and stuff. They kept me in overnight for observation.”

He was well enough to fly alone to Canberra on Wednesday for a War Memorial event.

Derryn Hinch denied his accident was due to intoxication.

Speaking outside his Melbourne home, Senator Hinch said he had not been drunk on Monday, blaming his bad knee, for which he wears a brace, and tiredness for the fall.

“I’m very appreciative to the family of my donor and I’ve met them many times over the years,” he said.

“I’m eternally grateful for it. I didn’t have a drink for five years. “Until I am lying on the slab for the last time, I am here to live my life to the best I can and to the best of my ability. I swore I would never drink again, but you have got to live your life.”


Despite having a liver transplant in 2011, Senator Hinch said his doctors had cleared him to have a few drinks.

“I have a couple glasses of wine a couple of times a week, I water it down,” he said.

“I won’t water down a glass of Grange, that’s a pledge.”

He will have a heart monitor fitted on Thursday to find out if his heart played any part in his collapse.

Regardless of his health, his devotion to protecting children is what I'm most concerned with.

Even in the unfortunate event of his passing, I'm certain those among his party will uphold his legacy and continue protecting children.

One in five kids being sexually abused in Australia is an appalling statistic, things have to change and it appears Hinch, his party and his supporters are the only one's brave enough to go there, are willing to make this a discussion worthy of parliamentary debate and policy.

This matters a great deal to me.
It matters to anyone who truly values Australia's future.

Exactly Cods. I'm not voting for his lifestyle either, rather am voting for his principles.

Our service personnel didn't fight only to see the nation they fought for regress to its descendents being abused at a rate of 1/5.
