    Liberal MP Craig Kelly has stirred the pot by naming Labor Senator Kristina Keneally as the best promoter of a right-wing conference in Sydney.


    A day after reportedly chanting "send her back", attendees at a conservative conference in Sydney cheered US-born Labor Senator Kristina Keneally for drawing attention to the event.



    The former NSW premier has publicly railed against the Conservative Political Action Conference Australia and urged that the visa of British activist Raheem Kassam be cancelled due to his "extensive history of vilifying people" on racial and religious grounds.
