Kirstine Lumb

Kirstine Lumb is a reporter and producer for the Nine Network's Sunday program.

She completed a degree in Journalism/Communications at Griffith University in Brisbane in 1998, with membership in its Golden Key Honour Society.

Kirstine joined Sunday in 2001 after returning from London where she worked in publishing.

Throughout her time at Sunday Kirstine has worked on a wide range of stories including securing the first television interviews with families from the 'Children Overboard' scandal, a profile on Saddam Hussein's ex-pilot, coverage of the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami, social investigations into the worlds of ice addiction, surrogacy, obesity and child abduction.

Kirstine produced a story about child abuse within the Jehovah's Witness church which won a New York Festival's World Medal for Best Investigative Report in 2004.

She produced another award winning story, STILNOX, which recieved a Walkley highly commended in 2007 and a New York Festival World Medal in 2008.

In 2006 Kirstine travelled to Argentina to film an éxposé on the trauma of a stolen generation — children taken from their mothers and illegally adopted out when they were born inside concentration camps during the military coup of 1976-1982. Kirstine filmed the report herself.

A fluent Spanish speaker, lover of the outdoors and all things sporty and adventurous, Kirstine has travelled the world, from the Everest base camp in Tibet, the wilds of Africa to her beloved Latin lands.
