School deletes pro-Spender article as ‘Ascham army’ mobilises for head girl | michaelkoziol

“When I saw that, I thought ‘no, this can’t be real. No school would allow that to happen’,” Yabsley said.

Ascham alumnus Skye Leckie, who is also a Liberal and a Sharma supporter, agreed. “I think it’s outrageous to use a school as a platform for politics,” she told theAscham School was contacted for comment on Friday afternoon, but did not respond before deadline. Neither Sharma nor Spender wanted to comment. Ascham board member Stephen Garton said he was unaware of the matter.

“Everyone should do more,” says Miller. “She absolutely has the support of an army of Ascham old girls. They’re showing up for her. I can see my connections mobilising.”Miller, the daughter of late celebrity agent Harry M Miller, is now chief executive of his agency HMMG. She says the Spender campaignwas “a masterstroke”, as “she would not do that lightly”.

Holly Marsh, the article’s author, said it was not meant to be political. “We’d never go there,” she said. The piece was included in the April old girls’ newsletter, among stories about other “change makers and ground-breakers”.“If there are any [other] Ascham girls who run for federal politics we will definitely profile them,” Marsh said. She was not aware the article had been removed from the school’s website but said she would not investigate further.
