“Anything Can Happen With Nepotism!” Lisa Wilkinson & Peter FitzSimons Defend Daughter Billi’s New Editor Gig

Lisa Wilkinson and Peter FitzSimons have taken to Twitter to support their daughter amidst backlash.

So how did we get here? Well, Billi FitzSimons, the daughter of Lisa Wilkinson and Peter Fitzsimmons has scored the role of editor at The Daily Aus, before her 25th birthday.

But, before you pop the bubbly, the news was met with some backlash online with Twitter users calling the younger FitzSimons’s achievement nepotism.

One wrote, “Must be nice having wealth and connections!” And another wrote, “Barnaby Joyce’s 22-year-old daughter was employed as a Senior Advisor to John Barillaro.

“Anything can happen with nepotism.” 

In response, both her famous parents used their social media platforms to celebrate her success, FitzSimons wrote: “She works like a demon!” and Wilkinson wrote, “Very proud.”

Of course, two things can be true at once, FitzSimons can have earned her promotion and privilege can also make it easier for you to earn these things.

Either way, there’s no doubt she’s going to do big things!
