Parents’ Details
Lisa’s parents, Clarrie Millar and Dorothy, were looking forward to their 70th amazing anniversary; unfortunately, her father, Clarrie, who served in the federal parliament for sixteen years, died in 2017.
In 1974, Clarrie was elected to the federal parliament as the Country Party member for Wide Bay. However, he made sure that there be no special privileges granted to his daughter while she worked at the Gympie Times at that time.
Followed by her father’s death, a year later, even her mother passed away.

Lisa confessed how her parents had forever been her “greatest cheerleaders,” and the fact that she still can cry about them speaks it all- what family really means to her.
Married Status
Lisa is not married, and she is the only Millar-sibling who doesn't have children.
Famously secluded when it comes to her personal life, Lisa, however, commented about her 50th birthday dinner with her four siblings, coming from them, her eleven nieces and nephews, and thirteen great-nieces and great-nephews.
Her eldest brother is 70, and her youngest sister is 48 as of the 14th of August 2019.
This being the most that she talked about her private affairs, her relationship status still remains buttoned-up.
Salary
Over a decades-long career, Lisa not once took her job for “granted.” Although it demands her 3 o’clock presence, she cannot help but feel the luckiest thinking, “I love this job!”
