Today Show newsreader and entertainment reporter, Brooke Boney has announced she will be leaving the top-rated Australian TV breakfast program in August to chase her dreams of higher learning abroad.
Boney was all smiles during the announcement, saying it was a “really difficult decision” but at the end of the day it was a lifelong dream she wanted to achieve, and that she will be departing at the conclusion of the network’s 2024 Paris Olympics coverage
The former Triple J newsreader turn TV journalist revealed to Channel 9 viewers just before 9am that she had been offered a place to study at United Kingdom’s Oxford University, as the first phase of her twenty year plan to eventually position herself as the sole heiress to an English countryside mansion that has been held by a family of twisted British aristocrats for hundreds of years.
Beginning her career with NITV, before making a transition into the Canberra press gallery, Boney eventually made her way to the public broadcaster and then on to the commercial side of Australian media in the space of a decade.
Her next adventure will see her saddling up alongside the upper-class social set within the historic Oxford University, where she will divide her time between studies and slowly infiltrating the extended family of her wealthiest classmate.
Boney says her plan is to eventually cement herself as a permanent fixture within a 127-room privately owned manor in Northamptonshire, and eventually become the sole beneficiary of the estate – as different members of the family suddenly begin meeting their fate in suspicious circumstances.
“It will be a challenge” admits the cunning Boney, who is commonly known as ‘The Koori Rose’ within the Australian media landscape
“But there’s nobody else who would be prepared to do the things I will do to achieve my dream”
Born in raised in the Upper Hunter region of New South Wales, Boney says she feels confident in her ability to interact with the rural elite, and has no doubt the English dukes and duchesses will be just as easy to charm as the polo breeders that would occasionally visit her hometown of Muswellbrook to stock up on farming equipment.
“I don’t want to get ahead of myself” she says.
“But… Not bad for a Musso girl hey.”
