  • Sad to hear.

    1987 conviction and imprisonment

    Hinch served 12 days in prison and was fined A$15,000 in 1987 for contempt of court after he publicly revealed paedophile Roman Catholic priest Michael Charles Glennon’s prior conviction while a trial was still pending.

    2011 conviction and home detention

    In June 2011, he was convicted of breaching suppression orders against the names of two sex offenders, and was subsequently sentenced to five months’ home detention.

    2014 conviction and imprisonment

    In October 2013, Hinch was found guilty of contempt of court for breaching a suppression order by revealing details of the criminal history of Jill Meagher’s killer, Adrian Ernest Bayley. The judge gave Hinch 90 days to pay the fine, or else face 50 days in prison.[47] On 16 January 2014, one day prior to the expiration of the 90-day period, Hinch advised that he would not pay the fine ‘on principle’. He was imprisoned on 17 January 2014.[48] On 7 March 2014, he was released from prison after 50 days, having served his full sentence. He was greeted by his partner Natasha Chadwick, other friends and a substantial media contingent.

    RIP Derryn

    Edit maybe it wasn’t that smart tho?




  • There are no “good” characters in the novel that I recall. The kid is really bad even though he is still just a kid. No one tries to guide him to the correct path. No one seems to care. Good doesn’t have a chance to exist in this novel because if it did it would immediately be destroyed by all the badness.

    I think McCarthys view is men left to their own devices are bad. Law and order and civilisation are needed for good to exist. There is no real law and I dont remember God being mentioned much either except by the preacher at the start that the Judge has killed just because he can.
