Family ties still fiendish for Marielle Smith

It’s been 18 months since South Australian Labor senator Marielle Smith stated that she and her husband were “separate people with separate careers”.

This corporal separatism is an indisputable truism. However, it obscures more than it reveals. Said husband, Clint Feuerherdt, runs Kelsian Group, the nation’s largest private bus operator, having been appointed to his CEO role by Smith’s father at a company since merged with Kelsian’s predecessor.
