On 26 February 2003, she was ejected from the Lower House chamber for breastfeeding her 12-day-old baby, Charlotte Louise. A section of the Parliamentary rules, namely Standing Order 30, states: "Unless by order of the House, no Member of this House shall presume to bring any stranger into any part of the House appropriated to the Members of this House while the House, or a Committee of the whole House, is sitting." As there is no age limit to ‘strangers in the House’ (non-elected persons), only MPs and certain parliamentary staff are allowed in the House during sitting times.<ref name="PM1">[[Australian Broadcasting Corporation]]: [http://www.abc.net.au/pm/stories/s793397.htm Victorian MP and baby ejected from House]</ref> |

The creation of a skier-exchange program for Freestyle Aerialists saw three Japanese skiers spend the 1987 winter in Mt. Buller one of whom, Takayo Yokoyama, was nearing the end of his career and was interested in becoming an International coach. With little prospects in his native country, the chance meeting in Australia saw Kirstie being offered a four month scholarship in Inawashiro, Listel Ski Fantasia, the center for Freestyle Skiing in Japan, with Takayo as her coach. |

Following the 1988 Australian Freeslyle competition where she placed first, Kirstie decided to follow the European winter and compete on the four month long World Cup Season. Sponsored by a Melbourne based travel company, she headed overseas as the only Australian representative in either Aerials, Moguls or Ballet (Acrobatics). |

Whilst not truly competitive with her single back layout and single front tuck, she completed her rookie season finishing in 10th position, at that time the highest placing by an Australian winter athlete, male or female, in any winter sport. In 1990 Kirstie won her first World Cup event. In 1992, Kirstie was crowned World Champion, with six World Cup victories. She was Australia’s flag bearer at at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, where she was placed sixth in the women’s aerial skiing event – the nation’s best Olympic result at the time. She also competed in the Winter Olympics at Nagano in 1998. Kirstie set several world records over the course of her skiing career, including becoming the first woman in history to score over 100 points on a single competition jump, with a score of 104.37. Her 17th career World Cup gold medal in 1998 tied her for the all time record for career World Cup aerial victories with Cannadian skier Marie Claude Asselin, who retired in 1984. |

== Political career == |
|||
On 3 September, 2002, Victorian State Premier [[Steve Bracks]] announced that Kirstie had been nominated for preselection as a Labor candidate in the Victorian state seat of Forest Hill. In the election that followed, Kirstie won the seat of Forest Hill with a swing of more than 10%. |

On February 27, 2003, twelve days after giving birth to her first child, daughter Charlotte Louise, Kirstie attended the first sitting of parliament following the 2002 election. When official proceedings commenced whilst Kirstie was still [[breastfeed]]ing her newborn, the Speaker of the House ejected Charlotte (and therefore Kirstie) from the chamber as "only MPs and certain parliamentary staff are allowed in the House during sitting times". The controversy that followed was headline news<ref name="PM2">[[The Age Newspaper: Charlotte makes a meal of question time]][http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/02/26/1046064105574.html]</ref> and led to widespread debate in the community regarding the merits of women breastfeeding in public or at workplaces<ref name="PM3">[[Parliament of Australia: Representatives]] >[http://www.aph.gov.au/house/house_news/magazine/ath30_Food.pdf]</ref>. |

Unfortunately, Kirstie's political career has been dogged by her disregard for the people's wishes over the Scoresby freeway/tollway backflip. Although one could argue that it is not her disregard for the people's wishes, however, her requirement to follow the party line on a very controversial issue. |

Kirstie continued to represent the people of Forest Hill and was subsequently re-elected in the 2006 state election in a very tight result. |
