Tribune’s note

The Premier, Ms Allan, issued a public statement marking the death of Derryn Hinch, paying tribute to his decades in media and his subsequent term in the Senate [TA-260710-vicmed-c87de648e1d6]. The statement centred on Hinch's work as a Senate crossbencher advocating for victims of child sexual abuse and pushing for stronger legal protections — causes he pursued through legislative pressure and public campaigning.

The Premier characterised his legacy as one of tangible change for victims and survivors, and recalled his personal wish to have the words "He tried" inscribed on his headstone. The media release is the sole source in this window; no parliamentary activity is recorded for this date.
