Industry and viewers have been sending their best wishes to Peter Harvey and family after reports he is “gravely ill.”
Harvey, 68, announced in October that he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer but has continued working, including recent appearances on Nine News and an interview with the ABC’s One Plus One.
Daughter Claire Harvey tweeted: “Thank you to everyone for your amazingly kind messages to Dad. He is getting great care in hospital.”

His interview on One on One was inspirational. If you missed the original broadcast, I’m sure it’s on the iView site.
All the best to Peter and his family at this difficult time
Pancreatic cancer is an absolute howling bitch of a disease. Almost impossible to detect early, it spreads quickly in the abdomen. Prognosis is rarely good.
Perhaps the breast cancer awareness ‘industry’ could donate a few hundred million dollars. They could spare it considering how pervasive their advertising campaigns are.
My father was diagnosed in January, he lasted 21 days. Miracles don’t happen often, but geez I wish Peter the very best. Either a full recovery or the least amount of pain…poor bugger
There are very few people left on TV with the class he has. Ann Sanders comes to mind and um……. yeah. Quite sad.
A true journalist and a bastion of television news reporting from the past. I wish him all the best
I wish this lovely man and fine journalist (and his family) the very best. , 🙁
