Nine News - Kristina Keneally has a dig at Miss Australia

New South Wales Premier Kristina Keneally bought Miss Australia into a political punching match when she mocked Caroline Pemberton's successful trek across the renowned Kokoda Trail. Keneally was attempting to bring down Opposition Leader Barry O'Farrell's courageous feat by giggling "well even Miss Australia's done that, so congratulations Barry" implying that if a beauty queen could do it, it can't be that hard! Not only did it offend the memory of Kokoda, it spectacularly backfired on the Premier in a media storm. Hear Caroline Pemberton's take on the whole situation on National Nine News with Wendy Kingston
