Peter Harvey, best known as a Channel 9 journalist over nearly four decades, has died at the age of 68.
Harvey died from pancreatic cancer.
In a storied career, Harvey became famous for his “Peter Harvey – Canberra” sign-off. He reported politics from Canberra for two decades, starting in 1975 just before the Whitlam Dismissal.
In an interview shown tonight, Harvey remembered standing on the steps of Parliament House supporting his cameraman as Gough Whitlam famously delivered his “Kerr’s cur” speech.
