I’m a 62yo Ozzie and I think she’s terrific.
If I ever need a press secretary, I would like to employ Ash so that she can answer any questions with “I’ll be f*cked if I know”. Much more civilised than “no comment.”
I quite fancy Ash Sarkar actually
I’m nearly 58 and think Ms. Sarkar is very intelligent and beautiful!
