From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tracey Spicer is an Australian journalist, who worked as a major national anchor for Network Ten's news bulletins for the past decade. Prior to presenting the national news, Spicer co-hosted the 5pm news in Brisbane from 1994-1995.
In late 2006, Spicer was sacked by email after returning from maternity leave when her second child, Grace, was two months old.[1] In a 10-page letter of demand served to Network Ten, Spicer claimed she had been discriminated against since giving birth to her first child, Taj, in 2004 following severe pregnancy complications. The case garnered much attention in the media, with speculation she was fired because of her age; Ten strongly denied allegations of discrimination.[2] Spicer threatened to take the case to the Federal Court, but eventually settled with the network for $250,000.[citation needed] The newsreader signed off for the final time on New Year's Eve 2006, beginning casual shifts with Sky News four days later.
Spicer is currently a fill-in presenter on Sky News.
