Personal Life
Hunter, 52, married his long term partner, Leith Semmens, 42, in Jun in the Province of Granada in southern Spain on 19 December 2012. Hunter is an atheist, and contributed a chapter to the 2010 Australian Book of Atheism on the topic of "Parliament and Prayer". This followed media criticism after he referred to the practice of opening parliament with prayer as "archaic" and "a waste of time".

Famous quotes related to personal life:
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To ‘see the light’ too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
