FIGHTS FOR HER JOB!

HER NEW ROLE RUFFLED SOME FEATHERS

After more than four decades at Channel Nine, Tracy Grimshaw has finally landed her first assignment for 60 Minutes.

But while the respected journalist, 64, was met with a slew of congratulatory messages after sharing the news on social media, two of 60 Minutes’ longterm presenters, Liz Hayes and Tara Brown, were conspicuously absent from the comments section.

“Handing a role on 60 Minutes to a skilled interviewer like Tracy has undoubtedly ruffled feathers,” a TV insider tells New Idea.

However, Tracy’s secondment onto the program, to interview Elle Macpherson following the release of her new memoir, is reportedly part of a wider strategy at Nine.
