Veteran broadcaster and former senator Derryn Hinch has died at 82. He had a long media career, starting in newspapers, then TV and radio. His law-breaking crusades to expose sex offenders earned him several prison stints and the nickname 'the human headline'. In 2016, he was elected to the Senate and served one term on the crossbench. Hinch had suffered ill health in recent years and had received a liver transplant in 2011.
