Derryn Hinch (Victoria, Derryn Hinch's Justice Party) Share this | Hansard source

Thank you. I apologise. I will wrap it up. As I said, I may be the oldest person ever elected to the Senate, but I still have fire in my belly. I still have the passion, and maybe the power, to do something about things and I will give it my all. Let me just say to you here: I was once asked by a journalist, for one of those silly colour magazine feature pieces, 'What inscription would you want on your tombstone?' I thought and I said: 'Just two words: "He tried".' That will do me when I leave this chamber, and I leave this world: 'He tried'. Or, as I would have said all those years ago on television: 'I'm Derryn Hinch. That's life. Goodnight.'
