Lisa’s new autobiography documents the TV host’s life and media career, including a chapter dedicated to her sacking from Channel Nine and falling out with Karl Stefanovic over a pay dispute.

While her autobiography has sparked controversy, it seems the avalanche of negative press has paid off in spades, as her book is reportedly flying off the shelves. 

According to The Daily Telegraph’s Annette Sharp, Lisa’s publishers Harper Collins ordered a 10,000 reprint of the autobiography last week due to high sales.

‘No doubt fanned by phenomenal media interest in the book, more than 4200 copies of the book sold in its first week to market,’ Sharp claimed on Sunday.

Sales have been so impressive, that Harper Collins has also reportedly bumped up Lisa’s tome to the top of the autobiography release list.

Meanwhile this month, a petition to cancel The Project is gathering steam online.  

The Change.org petition ‘Get The Project Cancelled’ accuses the left-leaning news program of airing ‘vile, un-Australian material’.

Its author, James Hamilton, also claims the hosts ‘recently accused a cricketer of racism before quickly retracting the statement’.

Despite months of worryingly low ratings, The Project and The Sunday Project will be returning to Channel 10 next year.

The network last Friday issued a statement about the future of the show in response to reports about its dwindling audience.

‘Recent media reports inferring that The Project will not be on 10 in 2022 are completely fabricated, false and misleading,’ a spokesperson said.

‘The Project has just celebrated its 12th birthday and is here to stay! At a time when information, context and understanding is more important than ever, The Project will continue to provide Australians with their dose of news delivered differently.’
