Brooke Boney Travels from sydney, NSW

Brooke Boney is a rare talent. She covers entertainment as comfortably as she reports on politics. This unique versatility offers Brooke a distinct competitive advantage over her industry peers. Her intelligence underpins her skill as a keynote speaker, MC, panellist, and orator.

When it comes to her work, Brooke masterfully balances her trademark relaxed outward glow with an inward fierceness that was borne from a childhood of disadvantage. It’s that perfectly-pitched belly-fire which has shaped her poise and readiness in high-pressure live media environments.

Being thrown in the deep end – and thriving – has been a hallmark of her extraordinary career to date. Brooke earned her big break on national youth radio station Triple J as the news presenter for Ben and Liam’s breakfast show. And it was also the platform where Nine Network management privately joined the throng of 18-24s to blind-audition Brooke for one of the most highly-sought gigs in Australian television.

Brooke’s passionate embrace of her Indigenous culture is uplifting.  She’s igniting discussion around indigenous affairs and best of all, she’s doing it under the hopeful gaze of thousands of Indigenous youths across the country, who have someone to help them imagine themselves doing it too.
