Biography
Christchurch-raised Kevin Milne is best known for a single television show: his 26 year run as a reporter and presenter on popular consumer affairs show Fair Go.
Milne's father died the day Kevin turned 15. Soon after, his older brother Brian was killed in a car accident, while studying in the United States. Largely disinterested at high school, Milne found confidence during compulsory sessions at the debating club. Although normally reserved, he soon found himself representing the college in public speaking and debating competitions. Milne argues that all secondary schools should include public speaking in their curriculum.
