In 1971, he was elected as the Liberal member for Gisborne in the Victorian Legislative Assembly. One of its youngest members, he won three terms with an increasing majority before he returned to the commercial world as a corporate consultant.Guy has taken part in subsequent reunions of The Seekers since 1993, when the award-winning group celebrated its Silver Jubilee.In recent years, Guy has been involved in a joint venture with Hanging Rock Winery, launching "Athol's Paddock" in the Macedon Ranges. The first vintage from "Athol’s Paddock" was 1997 and since that time has regularly produced award-winning Shiraz.Educated at Gardenvale Central School, where he was School Captain.
