Premier's career hits a snag

7 March 2011

Updating the proverb, Flo Bjelke-Petersen knew the way to voters' hearts was through their stomachs. Kristina Keneally was taking a chapter from the former Queensland senator's pumpkin scone cookbook yesterday while visiting hundreds of life-savers-to-be at Maroubra Nippers. The Labor leader distributed cupcakes and even sizzled a sausage or two for the cameras before tendering a burnt offering to a kid called Keiran. He not only happens to be in the same class of her son Brendan but will be around for her should she ever decide to enter federal politics and challenge Peter Garrett for preselection in Kingsford Smith if NSW Labor loses.

Stung by a fifth-round knockout from the reality-TV competition winner last December, Mundine said he would overhaul his preparation for the April 13 fight in Brisbane. And he conceded a second loss to Wood might end a career that has yielded three world titles and millions of dollars in prizemoney. "It could be [the end], man," Mundine said. "I think if the last fight didn't wake me up then nothing will, so I have to be ready and prepare a lot better mentally. I'm not getting any younger, and this is probably the fight that I need to make sure that I win.".. read full story
