Nadine Roberts initially placed fourth and received the title of Miss Earth Australia – Fire, at the Miss Earth Australia 2014 pageant. Two weeks later, the original winner Dayana was dethroned by then director Roselyn Singh. Roselyn then gave the title of Miss Earth Australia 2014 to Nadine who was placed third runner up, this created a media furore amidst a major corruption scandal as to why the first and second runner up contestants had not been considered to be crowned as Dayana's replacement.[1][2]

Nadine once again joined the Miss Earth pageant for Australia for the second time, this time Nadine placed fourth (third runner up) and received the title Miss Earth Australia - Fire 2014, the pageant was won by Dayana who held the title of Miss Earth Australia 2014.[3] Dayana's elemental court, was made up for first runner up (Miss Earth Australia - Air), second runner up (Miss Earth Australia - Water) Chelsea Lewis and third runner up (Miss Earth Australia - Fire) whose title Nadine held.[4]

Two weeks after the national finals, the then director of Miss Earth Australia Roselyn Singh dethroned Dayana.[2] The national 2014 Miss Earth Australia organisation became embroiled in controversy and corruption rumours as Dayana's dethronement was surrounded by unfairness & ambiguity, along with the fact Nadine who initially placed third runner up, was replaced as the new Miss Earth Australia 2014 with disregard to using the first and second runner up title holders as replacement.[2]
