ABC journalist Bridget Brennan will replace Lisa Millar as co-host of News Breakfast when she steps down this month.

Brennan was instrumental in launching the ABC’s Indigenous affairs unit in 2017. “ is a formidable journalist and broadcaster,” ABC News director Justin Stevens said, “and I can’t wait to see what she does.”
The new role marks the first time Australian breakfast television has had an Indigenous host. Brennan said she didn’t grow up watching Aboriginal women on television “so it’s really lovely”.
