David Hunt was one of the first speakers on my list for TEDxSydney 2017 -he is a fantastic speaker with endless energy, a fabulous voice and is tremendously funny. TEDxSydney 2017

David Hunt is doing for Australian history what David Attenborough has done for science. His talks are amusing, engaging and informative, demonstrating why he’s completely unfit for politics.
Barry O’Farrell, New South Wales Premier

Who says Australia’s history is boring? David’s anecdotes were funny, entertaining and informative all at once. Thanks to David’s after-dinner presentation we know there’s a lot more to our history than wheat and sheep and much of it is hilarious.
The Resources and Energy Law Association

David Hunt is as informative as he is funny. Popularising of history at its best.
Tim Flannery

I loved working with David. A funny man, he has an instant rapport with audiences. His knowledge is vast and his wit is vaster!
Tim Ferguson, The Doug Anthony All Stars

One of the funniest, most engaging and outrageously entertaining speakers I’ve ever seen.
Benjamin Law, The Family Law

David Hunt MCed a high value event with our board, major donors and their guests along with eminent speakers, including a High Court judge and former Minister. David has a capacity for making serious matters enormously interesting and very funny. He manages to speak with both levity and gravity which is a rare gift.
Centre for Independent Studies

David Hunt had thoroughly researched to topic and styled it to our overall conference themes. He was extremely knowledgeable, personable and engaging. Although the speech was conducted over dinner,the people in the room were totally engaged from beginning to end.
