She’s known as one of Australia’s most hard-hitting journalists, with a slew of uncompromising questions that rarely go unanswered, but in The Weekly’s latest issue, Sarah Ferguson has swapped the interviewer’s chair for the interviewee’s.
Sitting down with one of The Weekly’s senior journalists, Michael Sheather, Sarah speaks candidly about her career including some of her best journalistic pursuits (not to mention her multiple Walkley Awards, of which she has won three or four, depending on who you ask) from challenging Treasurers on national television, to undercover investigations.
But the 49-year-old reporter also shows a rare glimpse of her romantic side as she retells the moment she fell in love with fellow journalist and husband, Tony Jones. In Paris. Of course.
“It was very strange and very unfamiliar because I think both of us felt the same thing and the same time,” said Sarah.
“It was one of life’s truly blinding moments – we both knew something very big had happened. I can remember when he came through the doors, it was like ‘and there you are. I have been waiting for you and I didn’t know it’. Really, it was just like that.”
