Qld tourism winner appears on US TV

Queensland tourism has cashed in on the Best Job in the World campaign after the
winner Ben Southall appeared on the USA's number one cable morning news program.
Mr Southall, accompanied by Queensland Premier Anna Bligh, was interviewed on prime
time show Fox & Friends.
He told the US audience he was stung by a jellyfish during his six month stint and
has been employed to promote Queensland for a further 18 months.
"It was certainly a job, not a holiday," he told Fox & Friends.
"I am now doing more work for Queensland.
"I will be working for a further 18 months now, so basically travel around the
planet and tell everybody about my experiences and adventures in Queensland."
Ms Bligh said it was hoped the publicity campaign had a long lasting effect.
"What we hope is he becomes a life long ambassador."
