In the first of an occasional series on partners, reporter
BELINDA STRAHORN talks to Susan Cantwell, wife of ACT Electoral Commissioner Damian Cantwell.
THE first thing you feel when you meet Susan Cantwell, 55, is her warmth. It beams from within and fills the room. There’s her big, blissed-out smile, which makes her eyes crimple, and the way she makes conversation so easily it feels like you’re old friends.
She’s a short lady, impeccably dressed and seems fit enough to race in a marathon. But to do that, feels like I’d be doing her a discredit. In the end, the way she looks is not half as interesting as who she is, what she does and the kindness that’s evident in her daily life.
