The girl at the center of the controversy, Olympia Nelson, now 11, said that she was "really, really offended" at comments by the Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd.
"It is one of my favorites, if not my favorite photo, my mum has ever taken of me, and she has taken so many photos of me," she said. "I think that the picture my mum took of me had nothing to do with being abused, and I think nudity can be a part of art."
