"Terry Lane" is a radio broadcaster and newspaper columnist based in Melbourne, Australia.

He was born in South Australia and was educated at Gawler High School. After studying for the ministry at the Stirling Theological College/Churches of Christ College of the Bible in Melbourne, Lane was a minister for six years before working in the Methodist Department of Christian Education and the ABC's religious department. He began a radio talk-back program for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation/ABC in Melbourne in 1977, but was controversially sacked after 11 months.

The Monash biographical dictionary of 20th century Australia describes Lane as "a capable and empathetic interviewer, though often expounding controversial views". Geraldine Doogue describes him as "an interviewer’s interviewer; he’s self-effacing, but probing, and these days, certainly not afraid of expressing his own opinions. He’s gloriously unpredictable, offends listeners of both liberal and conservative inclinations, and delights just as many others."

He is probably best known for his daily radio program, which ran from 1982 to 1993, on 3LO, 2BL (AM)/2BL, 7ZR and 2NC. In 1995, he returned to the ABC's Radio National to present a weekly program, from which he retired in 2005.

I felt if we played as well as we can we could have won. We've got three guys that are playing pretty solid right now and we're still looking for that fourth guy to step up and play consistent golf.

Clearly we think it's premature to talk about separating portions of the broadband bill. The chairman is committed to working on comprehensive broadband regulatory reform.

They might be looking at using those dollars now to start the development process.
