Marie-Louise Theile (born 1966) is a former Australian news presenter. She presented Ten News at Five in Brisbane.
Born in Brisbane Theile graduated at the University of Queensland. Theile worked as a reporter for The Sun, before she moved to New York where she worked at Elle magazine. She then spent time in the New York Bureau of Brisbane's Sunday Sun and the Adelaide News. When she returned to Queensland she worked as a journalist writing for Ita, Cleo and Vogue Living magazines, as well as The Australian before joining ABC Television as a news reporter.
In May 1991 Theile co-hosted the 6:00pm Ten Eyewitness News with Glenn Taylor in Brisbane. In Early 1994 Theile took up a position as newsreader for Ten News in Melbourne with David Johnston. In 1997 she returned to Ten News Brisbane. She also substituted on the national late news.
On 22 June in 2000, Theile made an embarrassing oversight by conducting a conversation with her co-host without realising that she was live on air. In this 10 second conversation she said "This arsehole that I'm married to he goes 'aw I wanna go skiing' ok 'I wanna go Europe' ok..." at which point somebody in the studio can be heard snapping their fingers in order to capture her attention. She apologised for this conversation during the news broadcast the following evening.[1]
In December 2007, she left Ten News to spend more time with her family. Theile's last broadcast was on Friday 7 December 2007.
