Lisa Wilkinson reportedly plans to launch an exciting new career in 2025, more than two years after her shock exit from The Project in November 2022.

The veteran television presenter is said to have her sights set on entering the world of politics.

‘She is 65 years old and is ready for a new challenge: trying her luck in politics. “You’ve always had a keen interest in being ahead of the curve in your local community,” a close friend allegedly told him. women’s day magazine.

“He may simply run for a seat in the next election.”

It comes after Lisa recently shared a cryptic post on social media revealing she was ready for “new beginnings.”

After two years of gardening leave to the tune of $1.7 million a year, his time at Channel Ten ended with a whimper over the Christmas holidays.

Lisa Wilkinson reportedly plans to launch an exciting new career in 2025, more than two years after her shock exit from The Project in November 2022.

His multi-year contract expired on New Year’s Eve and was not renewed.

Wilkinson joined the network in 2018 after an infamous pay dispute at Nine when she discovered her Today co-presenter Karl Stefanovic earned much more than her.

Everything was going well when he signed a new contract with Ten in 2021.

But just a year later, she resigned as host of The Project, her only on-air role, citing the cost of “relentless and selective” media coverage.

In the two years since he disappeared from our screens, he has continued to collect a monthly check from Ten, the forgotten child of commercial television, despite industry-wide cuts.

Since then, Wilkinson has slowly been rebuilding her public image, as the embattled TV star has quietly made appearances at a handful of red carpet events in recent months, and last year appeared at a fashion influencer spree.

She wowed guests at the launch of wellness brand Vegamour’s new GRO+ advanced hair serum at Bondi Icebergs, the Daily Telegraph reported.

It was the latest in a series of appearances in an effort by Wilkinson to “return to the Sydney social scene”, the publication claims.

'She is 65 years old and is ready for a new challenge: trying her luck in politics. He has always had a great interest in being at the forefront of his local community.

‘She is 65 years old and is ready for a new challenge: trying her luck in politics. “She has always had a keen interest in being at the forefront in her local community,” a close friend told this week’s Woman’s Day magazine.

In August, Wilkinson was all smiles on the red carpet at the opening night of Sunset Boulevard in Sydney.

The embattled TV star appeared in excellent spirits as she made a glamorous entrance at the Sydney Opera House.

Also in late August, he met Prime Minister Anthony Albanese at the Cauliflower Club rugby lunch.

It follows news that Wilkinson wants to return to television screens after months of inaction and five tedious weeks in court, sources say.

The Channel 10 star and former breakfast TV favorite is looking forward to returning to do more “blockbuster interviews” in the New Year, friends have told Weekend Australian.

Wilkinson left The Project in November 2022 and, despite remaining on Ten’s payroll until the end of 2024, has not appeared on the channel for over a year.

Despite her long hiatus from the network, Wilkinson has remained in the public eye thanks to her role in a highly publicized defamation trial.

She was involved in a case with Bruce Lehrmann, who was suing Network 10 and Wilkinson over an interview with Brittany Higgins that aired on The Project and online.

In the last five weeks of the court’s sitting year, the defamation case has played out before the court; Judge Lee has reserved his decision on the matter.

Friends of Wilkinson say his court appearances have worked in his favor by giving the TV star “a steady stream of publicity.”
