ANNE STANLEY MP OPPOSITION WHIP MEMBER FOR WERRIWA
9 February 2022
Vale Harry Hunt OAM
This morning I was advised of the passing of one our community's great citizens, Mr. Harry Hunt OAM.
Harry was affectionately known as Mr. Liverpool, and anyone who has driven down the Hume Highway to Canberra would have passed the motel he has owned and operated for at least 50 years.
Mr. Hunt was for many years the President of the Liverpool City Chamber of Commerce and Industry Chamber of Commerce.
"Every time I saw Mr. Hunt, he was always talking about how wonderful our community is and the opportunities he saw for the betterment of the area", Ms. Stanley commented.
For more than 20 years Harry hosted a Christmas lunch for significant numbers of our disadvantaged community members because he wanted to ensure that everyone would enjoy Christmas and community.
He has always been a generous sponsor and supporter of fundraising events in our community.
"Mr. Hunt was generous in his support and counsel to me always more than willing to provide helpful advice and encouragement."
"Every time I saw Harry he was always smiling, his view of life was infectious and positive", Ms. Stanley continued.
While the loss to our community is immense and will be felt keenly in the days and years to come it will be so much worse for his family.
I send my condolences to Mrs. Sybra Hunt and their family from myself and the community at this sad time.
