Lisa Wilkinson’s 24-year-old daughter Billi FitzSimons is having fun with her mother after she landed an exciting role as editor.
Lisa Wilkinson and Peter FitzSimons’ young journalist daughter follows in her famous footsteps after shooting a plum roll as an editor.

Last week, she announced that she was editor of the “Social Media First” publication, The Daily Aus.
Billi’s career in journalism began when she was appointed editorial assistant at Mamamia in 2018, before securing a role as a news writer 18 months later.
Mamamia was created by media stalwart Mia Freedman, and Wilkinson hired Freedman as an intern Dolly Magazine 30 years ago.
Just five months after that promotion, Billi FitzSimons was promoted to Senior News Writer again before leaving the role. The Daily Aus as a political journalist in 2021.
