Former Senator Natasha Stott Despoja has been left 'blindsided' after her 20-year marriage to political lobbyist Ian Smith (together, left and right) ended. Ms Stott Despoja, 54, and Mr Smith (left, with Rita Ora, and inset), a former political adviser turned globally respected corporate consultant, went their separate ways over the summer, according to friends and colleagues. For more than two decades, the high profile pair, who wed in a romantic beach ceremony in Byron Bay in 2003, were regarded as one of South Australia's power couples.
