Lisa Wilkinson saga 'getting ugly'

lisa wilkinson

Claims that Lisa Wilkinson was seeking wage parity have been questioned by her former staff and the network.

New information revealed that she actually wanted $300,000 more than her co-host Karl Stefanovic. A senior network source also said that if the network met her demands it would have led to 10 jobs cuts elsewhere.

“If she got what she wanted we would have had to cut 10 producers’ jobs … that is the reality,” said the source.

Re: Andrew O'Keefe could not agree more.  He gives me the irits. everyda on The Chase.

Some of those people get shamefully large salaries for doing actually nothing but appear in front of a camera and delivering some written dialogues or monologs and acting like real idiots, maybe their true selves or something also written for them by another idiot.

Are the Australian public really so naive?

Yep and easily entertained 

I am wondering why there are two "Topics" trending -  regarding Lisa W??

Ben  - started one a couple of days ago - and there were lots of very interesting comments on that?

However - I will reiterate what Lisa W's   "charming red bandana wearing bombastic and loud mouth husband"  -  "Tweeted" yesterday for all to see .....   simply appalling .............

He (Peter Fitz..)  "Tweeted" ......

                               "That's my missus! - Got a new job in 45 mins!!"

Had to laugh at the following "Tweet" ....... lol   said .......

"No amount of money would ever convince me to live/sleep with the "red bandana"  ...........

Lol lol lol - well said .....................

hi FOXY,  have to agree re PETER  FITZSIMMONS,    he is a big mouth who says nothing,    wrote a couple of books,    [THAT NO ONE I KNEW]   ever read,     as for LISA,    she can go wherever she likes,    i dont watch her,     her and pete are well matched,           she did nothing except sit there and read a bit a news,    fluttering her eyelids ,     looking stupid,   

Have to say 'the red bandana round forehead man' irritates me as much as all those other commercial morning TV heads do....They are just so darn irritating...

And don't watch it often but the Project mob irritate me as well...even Waleed Aly -  and used to really like the bloke...something about their fast paced small talk formats that grates something chronic!!

LOOKS LIKE GREED IS STILL KING.

Many people have so-called "paranormal" powers.

I regularly "see" a specific card before I turn it over. The problem with testing is that such powers can't be harnessed or called on at will - it just happens. As a matter of fact, sometimes the harder I try to "see" something, the less likely it is that I can. It can't be forced.

Also, a part of the contract for psychic vision is that it can't be used for monetary gain. Many years ago when I first realised I had this ability, I used a pendulum and the SMH race guide to predict the winner and placegetters in a horse race. I switched on the TV to see I had predicted 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the exact order. So, thinking it was just a fluke, I predicted the next race - same thing, the first 3 places were correct. So, thinking I'd win some money, I used the pendulum again, raced down to the TAB and bet $10 for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places. The horse I predicted to win came third and another horse I predicted had already been scratched that morning. I lost my money and my lesson was learnt.

So Raphael, for once you are right: there will be no one taking up this challenge.

 

Report Reply

You were saying Janran .....

 

For a little fella, you make a lot of noise Peter!

Hey "Pyotr"  - how about you make a worthwhile comment on the Topic - instead of just dropping by with more of your disgusting old man "bullying" crap??

What a pathetic "man " - that's if you are one???    lol 

Raphael I guess that removes any doubt. :)

Yes Tib

The word fruitcake comes to mind. 

I leave the "worthwhile comments" to you Foxy.

Your amazing diction, extensive vocabulary, colourful adjectives, and your complete addiction to inverted commas, make it worth "dropping by."

Lololololol

 

AND JUST WHAT IS THAT PICTURE SUPPOSED TO PROVE,    LITTLE ONE,     your a pathetic lot.    Pyotr

Thanks pet (Raphael/Pete/troll) for re-publishing my story above. Now you ask "You were saying, Janran..." ?sic. That's what I said. Can't you read? Blinded by misogyny? Do you have a point at all?

Why do you confuse me with Pete and Potty mouthed Poytr?

showing your rudeness yet again 

Best get back to reading your “cards” woman 

lol lol 

You are a rude miniscule troll twit Raphael/pete

Now is your chance to own up to who you really are Raphael/Pete/Bro. troll. Please try applying the truth, but don't bother if you're incapable of telling the truth.

you psychic looney

Can't you tell one poster from another.

you shpuld be banned for making false accusations - now go play with the fairies in your la la land

Message to Lisa: you are one gutsy woman. Yep, a shining example to young women everywhere.

 

Two Lisa threads? So will repeat what I said in the other one because she is worth it...

I am sorry to read such unpleasant comments about Lisa Wilkinson from people who know nothing about her except what they read in the newspaper. Lisa has achieved so much in her career..her achievements list is to be proud of including being the youngest ever editor of Cleo magazine…to a young journalist that must have been a feather in her hat to be able to connect with thousands of women older than herself.

Now at 57 she has done it again…she is still achieving…if Channel Nine could not see her worth..then it is their loss..I for one am proud she is sending out a message that women who do the same work as men should be receiving the same benefits…unfortunately..the mentality is such still in some areas that.. whenever a clever woman opens her mouth to speak about equality..she is called a feminist…if feminism is being strong..standing up to bullies and making every attempt to smash the glass ceiling..then count me in…

Australian Bureau of Statistics studies of Australia’s almost nine million employees have found only 151,000 were women earning $2000 a week or more, compared with 570,400 men.(Note: these figures may be slightly out dated..nevertheless..women are still on the lower rung of the ladder).

The ABS reports looked at employee earnings and also analysed information by gender. In every wage category, on average, women earn less than men from the time they start work through to retirement.

Keelia Fitzpatrick, Youth Officer with the Victorian Trades Hall Council, said for young women who finished university, the gender pay gap was present from day one of their careers. “Figures show that across industries female graduates will earn on average $2000 less per year than their male counterparts,” Ms Fitzpatrick said. “This debunks the myth that the gender pay gap can be explained by family commitments.”

Today..the pay gap remains at 18 per cent…



I am also puzzled at the vitriol directed towards Peter FitzSimons…why? Because he wears a red bandana? It’s never even occurred to me to question why he wears a red bandana…I just put it down to being slightly eccentric…I like eccentric people whom I find far more interesting than the boring sheeple who never have the courage to do anything out of the ordinary…

Peter FitzSimons is one of Australia’s biggest selling non-fiction authors of the last twenty years. He has written over twenty seven books…he  speaks four languages..he is a busy motivational speaker. He writes for the SMH and other newspapers. He was also named a Member of the Order of Australia for service to literature as a biographer.. sports journalist and commentator.. and to the community through contributions to conservation.. disability care.. social welfare and sporting organisations.

I met Peter here in Perth at an event in his honour and was totally impressed with his humour..kindness and dedication to worthwhile causes.. Now that brings us back to the “red bandana”..and the malicious comments about his wearing of it…so I went looking and found this lovely article which throws some light…not that it's anybody's business mind...

“ Peter FitzSimons..why I wear the red bandana”…in his own words..

Well said, Thea. On topic as well, unlike the dinosaur trolls.

There aren't two threads - Raphael has republished a 6 week old comment of mine (from a different topic) onto this thread. He and his fool mates always change the topic when the truth is staring them down, then accuse others of being illogical.

Janran two Wilkinson threads one posted by Ben, the other one posted by Leon as far as I can determine.


Thank you Janran..."dinosaurs"...that's being kind...I can think of worse..

I am amazed that some of these people got to their present age with such sad outlooks on life.. 



I loved reading Peter Fitzsimon's explanation on why he wears a Bandana. What a unique character. My husband had the same attitude, "Bugger what anybody thinks, if they don't like the way I look, they can get nicked". You did notice him coming down the street dressed in his Cowboy hat or his French Beret. Always the gentleman and all the old dears loved him and his sense of humour.  His little car was something else, a porcelain penguin was his mascot on the bonnet and all the kids cheered him on as he drove by. Everybody knew him and he was the best joke teller. Miss him so much. I'm afraid too many people have lost their sense of humour.

.... there are two threads on Wilkinson!  The one started by Ben (YLC) has 33 comments on it!

When and where does Ben's thread start?

 

 

 

Thnaks RnR - guess some people have a problem with English and/or common sense

Explains why they oppose the IELTS test for migrants as well

 

Thanks, RnR (or should I say "Thnaks", like the English-speaking mental giant professor?).

Go on, Raph/whatever, call me WOMAN again - oooh I love that.

 

 

Janran - too busy trying to put people down - rather than use your own brains as to read "Bens" thread?  

RnR was nice enough to tell you!  Duh!!!!!!!

Keep your pants on, Foxy. I was genuinely thanking RnR, but if you care to read Raph/troll's inane comment, you'll see he can't even spell "Thanks" properly (while having a crack at migrants' English levels!).

Again, thanks RnR - I'm on Ben's thread now. (Watch out Raph/troll, me and the meteor are heading your way. See you soon!)

...people make "typo's" - ok?  You have made plenty!  Stop trying to degrade people with your nasty comments!! Maybe take "Physco Cat" and P ost O ffice ???  ........................ ever thought of that???   

hahaha

foxy , you crack me up :))

I rarely make typo's - of course it's not a crime. But Raph/troll made the error IN THE MIDDLE OF HAVING A CRACK ABOUT MIGRANTS' LEVEL OF ENGLISH!!!

I'm glad my freaky dead cat is unsettling you from beyond the grave - still no excuse for your illiterate comment. I have no idea what you're talking about.

And it's spelt "Psycho", not "Physco".

 

lol - we have a new player in the mix!  Welcome to la la land .......

as Mick would sing  ......  "Pleased to meet you - hope you guess my name"?? .. but what's puzzling you - is the nature of my game? ...............................

How disappointing - I thought you might be human.

Her cyber friend told us "the family" she's Raphael. That's so isn't it Foxy???

It looks like Foxy has retreated back into his den (with Raph, Pete and the other troll). It must be a very crowded den, which explains why he can't concentrate enough to get his story straight.

That's the problem for liars - they need a very good memory to pull it off. He's failed.

... you need to be very careful - very careful -  Janran as to whom you calling a "liar" on here ok?  Where have I lied?  I would like you to tell me ?

I'm talking about Raphael and his various aliases, who have lied about me. Yes, he's a liar, it cannot be denied.

You’re going senile old gal.

Then again , you’re a fortune teller and prone to lies and exaggeration 

I rest my case, Foxy.

Hope you "rest" it on her head, Janran, LOLOLOLOL

lol - wait until the other co-hosts of "The Project" realise what Channel 10 will be paying Lisa ....(if you believe today's press) -  it is three times the amount of "Where's Wally" and Carrie Bickmore!

 

 

 

 

... Lisa is reported to be earning $1.5 mill for her "gig" on The Project!  Wally and Carrie get $500,000 ....wonder how they feel???  ...

Wonder how Lisa feels???    lol    -    Very happy would be my guess???

More "red bandana's" for hubby!  Or possibly a hair or brain transplant???    lol lol lol 

 

Personally I believe  the salaries of Wilkinson as well as Waleed and Bickmore are pretty outrageous on every level for what they do...

Even worse is this BS about Wilkinson being held up as some sort of hard done victim of the gender pay gap wars in moving from CH. 9...

All these incredibly irritating talking heads from commercial TV are obscenely overpaid, along with the likes of banking CEOs and this ilk...

Believe I'm a  feminist but in this instance do not regard Wilkinson as some sort of 'paragon of feminist virtue' to be held up for the average Australian woman as some sort of role model to aspire to..

Yep there's some  who will talk Wilkinson up but IMHO think she's just another incredibly wealthy person wanting more ..

Agree 110%!  Wilkinson knew exactly what she was doing in her negotiations!  Only problem was - she thought she was more "precious" for her hosting of the Today Show than she really perhaps was/or what Chn. 9 really thought of her?

These TV "airheads" get paid far more than our Prime Minister does p.a.  - mind you Turnbull has a lot to answer for!  Or lack of ...................

Unbelievable really ................ shoulda' got rid of "Tool Karl" also .......   :-)

Ho hum.... Lisa moves from today show to yesterday show and Pete continues talking to himself. pht.

i really dont care where LISA goes,     she does nothing anyway,    as for the project,   that WALLY ALLEY is enough to put you off tv forever,   how he got a logie,  or even a nomination,  is beyond me,    i would rather stick pins in my eyes than watch them,  bunch of 'would be if you could be's sitting around talking about nothing,    pplllleeeaassse,       spare me,   

 

I've got an idea, but too afraid to say because of 18c.

Come to think about it, Lisa will fit in perfectly at the project. We have Lisa who is fighting for female equality by getting a massive pay rise and Waleed Aly who tells us Islam is the religion of peace each time innocent infedels are murdered.

I don't think Lisa will be on the Project for very long. She's tipped to be Australia's version of Oprah Winfrey. Lucky Channel 10, sad for Channel 9!

A wise insight, KIAH. Ch 9 were crazy for letting their biggest star go.

The old, white boys club euchred themselves by playing hard ball with Lisa.

 

I have rarely watched morning TV -- I have seen Lisa Wilkinson a few times only-- but good on her for going for equal pay.

As far as Peter Fitz, wearing the red bandana well so what he is not hurting anyone -- and if it makes him happy so be it.

I have seen that other bloke Karl Stefanovic, not at all keen on him he did have a show on of a night some time ago and he came across as a real know it all.

Lisa W is a good looking woman and all the uglies are jealous. Peter F is lucky she fell for him.
