Peter Hunt is a rural journalist with broad experience in fields ranging from water, timber, fire and land management, through to drought policy and climate adaption. Over the years he has covered a raft of federal and state political reforms and battles, in which rural Australians are all too often simply regarded as collateral damage. Peter grew up in Buronga, south-western NSW, has bachelor and postgraduate degrees in agricultural science and journalism and spent five years managing the Victorian Farmers Federation’s policy and commodity teams. For most of his career as a journalist Peter has strived to give rural Australia a voice, while pushing for the transparency we all need to hold governments and their agencies to account.
