Australia will farewell broadcasting legand turned federal senator Derryn Hinch on Monday. Here’s how to watch the service.<\/p>\n

Hinch, who died earlier this month aged 82, will be farewelled at a state funeral in Melbourne from 12pm.<\/p>\n

The self-dubbed ‘human headline’ worked across TV and radio since the 1980s, even hosting his own show, Hinch Live, on Sky News Australia in 2015.<\/p>\n

Also a radio host, Hinch became a household name thanks to his time on the airwaves, hosting a number of shows in Melbourne and Sydney over an impressive span of forty years.<\/p>\n

In the 1980s and 1990s, he broadcast from 3AW and returned to the station in the 2000s and 2010s.<\/p>\n

Hinch formed his own party, the Derryn Hinch Justice Party, in 2015 – which pushed for stricter sentences for violent and sexual offenders – and he was elected to represent Victoria in the Australian Senate a year later.<\/p>\n

Derryn Hinch’s state funeral will be broadcast on Sky News Extra and is available to watch online with a SkyNews.com.au streaming subscription from 12pm.<\/a><\/p>\n
