Kim Millar
Kim Millar is the senior news anchor for Nightly News on 7 Tasmania.
Kim has decades of experience as a journalist, producer and presenter covering local, regional, and international events. Her deep connection to Tasmania is evident in her dedication to telling the stories that matter most to the people of her home state. Every day she is moved by uplifting stories about Tasmanians and shares the concerns about issues that impact our island.
Kim grew up in a farming family near Deloraine, in northern Tasmania, where watching the evening news was compulsory viewing. It was during this time she observed and admired the growing impact of female reporters and presenters on TV.
She is married to Peter, and they have two adult sons who know the rent will always be cheaper at home!
Louise Houbaer
Louise Houbaer has a passion for news and current affairs. After all, journalism in her blood as both parents work in media. She’s also a media and communications graduate from the University of Tasmania.
As 7 Tasmania’s trusted weekend anchor, Louise brings a decade of experience from reporting various rounds before her appointment to the news desk. Tasmanian born; she has a love for telling stories about and for her home state.
Louise believes in the collective strength of community. She’s a regular contributor to charitable projects and has worked with Big Hart, The Smith Family, and the Multicultural Council of Tasmania. She is also a committee member for Women in Media – a not-for-profit initiative for women working in media, communications, and advertising.
Away from the news desk, Louise is kept busy with Matilda and Jack – her young children, who like mum are taking a distinct liking to reading.
Peter Murphy
Peter “Murph” Murphy is Australia’s longest serving TV weather presenter.
Murph has become a trusted figure in Tasmanian households, understanding the critical impact weather can have on the community he is proud to call home. He also knows when to have a little fun and his cheeky one-liners have been a regular feature on 7 Tasmania. His genuine rapport with anchor Kim Millar, developed over several years of working together, brings warmth to screens across the state.
Murph began his TV weather career in 1984, two years after relocating to Tasmania to work in radio.
A diehard Sydney Swans fan, Murph is also deeply community minded using his profile to support charities and other community organisations across the state.
Nick Kelly
Nick Kelly presents sport for Nightly News on 7 Tasmania.
Nick brings a wealth of experience to the Nightly News team, having worked on coverage of some of Australia’s biggest news events over the past decade. Switching focus to sport is something of a dream come true for Nick – who says there aren’t many roles in which watching footy is part of your job description.
The seasoned journalist also draws on his background of breaking stories to help bring the news that matters to Tasmanians, while also following the achievements of local athletes competing here and around the world.
A former Queenslander, Nick lives in hope his Gold Coast Suns might one day finish a season inside the top eight – but at least now he has the championship winning Jackies to cheer on.
