With The Project wrapping its 16 year run last Friday, Network 10 has wasted no time locking in one of its most recognisable faces to bolster its Melbourne reporting team.
Former Project regular Georgie Tunny is stepping into a new role on the networks new current affairs show 10 News+ which launched this week, bringing her trademark energy, sport credentials, and serious storytelling chops to the network’s next phase of news and current affairs.
From red carpets to crisis zones, Tunny’s versatility makes her a strong addition as 10 News+ finds its feet, and you can catch her and finance Rob Mills on The Amazing Race: Celebrity Edition soon.
From 10:
Journalist And Presenter Georgie Tunny Joins 10 News+
Network 10 is thrilled to announce journalist Georgie Tunny is joining 10 News+, bringing her passion for sport, news, and storytelling to the network’s brand-new news and current affairs program.
Well known and loved by Australian audiences as a host on The Project, Georgie quickly became one of the country’s most engaging and versatile broadcasters. Her background spans ABC, Flash, Fox Sports and national radio, covering everything from breaking news to major entertainment events, including interviews with icons Sir Paul McCartney, Tom Cruise, and Formula 1 champions Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo.
Georgie’s love of sport has seen her report pitch-side with the Matildas’ Lydia Williams, co-host the Two Good Sports podcast, and travel to the US as part of the IVLP Fellowship for leading female sports journalists. She’s equally comfortable in the thick of a crisis, having anchored the ABC’s rolling Black Summer bushfire coverage in 2019 and reported on the Northern Victoria floods from Echuca in 2022.
Now, Georgie brings her sharp instincts and dynamic storytelling to 10 News+, where she’ll be front and centre covering the biggest stories and events in Australia and around the world.
Speaking of the new appointment, Georgie said:
“I’ve always been a fan of news delivered differently and am excited to be staying with the 10 family. “
“Can’t wait to see where this new chapter leads!”
Martin White, Vice President of News, Paramount Australia said:
“I’m delighted Georgie is joining us at 10 News+ and I am looking forward to seeing the stories with heart that she can produce for us.”
“Georgie is a standout journalist with a remarkable ability to connect with people and uncover the moments that resonate most”.
10 News+ launched this week as a brand-new new chapter in Network 10’s news evolution – offering premium, in-depth news, current affairs and insight.
We love Georgie, but don’t think even she can salvage it. Bring back The Project!
Kerryn Johnston I totally agree.
Kerryn Johnston I so agree, love Georgie but I still won’t watch it.
Wish they hadn’t cancelled The Project or could have at least replaced it with another entertaining show.
10 has confidence in their new show, pity few viewers share their optimism
Curt Schuurman They need to bring back THE PROJECT.
Darryl Brew they sure do
Oh dear. This show is already an abject flop. Georgie deserves better.
Daniel Mark I agree 100%
She presents well on news
Good news Georgie is great very talented.
Steven Fletcher you farkin idiot, Talented at what, giggling, waiving those pen clentching arms around and those bog eyes to cry crocodile tears, she a pest.
Stewart Bick Stewart why would you say I’m an idiot when you don’t even know me. 😊
Sorry stephen, but I cant stand Georgie Tunny, I had to work with her and she is an imbasile and drives me insane, maybe your not an idiot , sorry.
Steven Fletcher 🙄
Because she is not allowing back at the abc
No
Good luck Georgie . You are a smart young lass, I hope you know what you are doing jumping on a sinking ship. Perhaps you might put some life into the show.
Pathetic

Yes bring it back
Bring back The Project!
That’s great

What a waste of her personality to be on such a bland show. She’s way too good for that.
We love Georgie she is so cool I think you are becoming a gay icon lol
Bring back the project 
Joanne Van Rijn-Portelli 💯🙏 why the bad choice 10
Joanne Van Rijn-Portelli without wally
Ken Robinson I’m trying to think who would be good to pair up with her
Joanne Van Rijn-Portelli just no.
We want her on the project bring her back on the project 
Joanne Van Rijn-Portelli don’t speak for everyone. I defs don’t want her back
well lets hope she keeps those waiving pen clenching hands in control and less of the childish giggling every 5 minutes, those bog eyes are sent to haunt us all. Please remind her we dont want any more fake crocodile tears either. She is a pain in the ……. and will fit in with those other two dickheads.

The new generation dnt watch TV especially news
There more interested in reels on Facebook
I think you are fantastic Georgie unfortunately you’ve boarded a sinking ship.
The Project was superb. The replacement is current affairs and heading in the dramatic direction which i find offensive
Think 10 have done their dash – watching 7 now
Congratulations 🎊
Love her
I think I’ve heard her doing voiceover for a new ish show
I believe she does the narration for House Hunters Australia, which is currently wrapping it up its first season on Ten.
So she’ll be out of another job again soon. Just bring back the project
