A key figure in the party over four decades, Eggleton was thrust into the national spotlight upon the disappearance of Harold Holt in 1967.
Former Liberal Party federal director Tony Eggleton, a key figure in the party over four decades, has died at the age of 91.
Eggleton greeted Fraser at Parliament House on November 11 when the Liberal leader returned from Government House after having been installed as prime minister by Governor-General John Kerr. He then directed the campaign that swept the Liberals into power in a landslide. Eggleton was the founding president of the National Press Club, an institution he helped establish in Canberra in 1963.
