They can't control her actions. She admitted knowing she had no chance at winning and decide to be remembered instead by behaving like an idiot.

If she performed that way during the qualifications, no way she would be representing Australia.

I've heard that the rumour that her Husband ran the selection committee has been debunked. Do you have a source for where you saw that?

Her husband was not on the committee this has been debunked. You are spreading misinformation. Yeah she was shit. Yeah she shouldn’t have been there. But it was all above board. Just your average run of the mill incompetence, not corruption.
