Network Ten correspondent Lachlan Kennedy is to present the Eyewitness First at Five News Queensland bulletin alongside Georgina Lewis.
The announcement:

Lachlan will take his place alongside Georgina, Sport Presenter Jonathan Williams and Weather Presenter Josh Holt from, Monday, September 7, in the new-look TEN Eyewitness First At Five News Brisbane studio.
Lachlan has covered some of the biggest local and international news stories since he became part of the TEN Eyewitness First At Five News team as a reporter in 2010. In 2013, Lachlan was promoted to the TEN US Bureau as correspondent, where he reported on various stories, including the murder of Australian student Chris Lane in Oklahoma, the Washington Navy Yard shooting, The Masters and the America’s Cup.
Since returning to Australia, Lachlan has travelled to Gallipoli to report on the 100th Anniversary of the ANZAC landings and to Nepal to cover the devastating earthquake.
Lachlan said: “I’m very excited about this wonderful opportunity to join Georgina and the Brisbane news team. Moving to a vibrant and growing city, where I have lots of family, is definitely a bonus.
“As a young journo reporting local news in Canberra, I could never have imagined the countries and places I’d work in, the people I’d meet and the stories I’d have the privilege to cover – from the splendour of the White House and bright lights of Hollywood, to the horror of the Nepal quake.”
Georgina Lewis said: “Lachlan is a respected reporter and presenter, with a wealth of national and international experience. I am looking forward to sharing the TEN Eyewitness First At Five News desk with him.”
Network Ten News Director, John Choueifate, said: “TEN’s news is going from strength to strength and I am delighted Lachlan will be playing a key role in the resurgence. Georgina and Lachlan are both fine journalists and will make for a great team.”
