Mr Hunt has worked for the past six years at the University of Wollongong as a senior manager enabling major shifts towards sustainable transport. Previously, he spent 31 years at BHP.

Mr Hunt said the ‘’daunting’’ prospect of climate change presented an opportunity in the Illawarra to invest in renewables, provide good jobs for future generations, and make use of our manufacturing capacity and port facilities.

Strengthening the education system was also a priority. Mr Hunt is ‘’proud’’ of the Greens track record on ethical politics, the environment, marriage equality, housing affordability and social justice.
