There couldn't be a better way to finish off our stories then today's chat with Gary and Pedro! Snap changes in government rules saw them ushered off to Howard Springs Quarantine facility in Darwin, only to be returned to Victoria. However their story has a great ending! Not one to be missed.

Remember first falling in love and never wanting to be separated? Elysha met her musician boyfriend 3 years ago. Now wanting to be together, but separated by border laws, her life including work and study are on pause.

Amy's is the wildest story of the week! Having travelled to VIC for her Pa's funeral, her family had border passes to return home to Townsville, QLD. Home and on the tarmac, her and the other travellers were accosted by police, turned around and sent back to VIC, where her and her family are stuck with no word of when they can return.

Ainsley is a young Australian supposedly with the world at her feet! Her right of passage to travel was taken so she moved to VIC to study. Caught in a lockdown with no job or support, she is desperate to come back home.

Krystal and Ivan, such an amazing couple, bought a house in Queensland way before any border lockdowns. Now homeless in NSW and with an empty property in QLD, the financial cost to their little family has them on the brink.

Marianne's story will break your heart like it did Renee's! A mother trying desperately to get back to her home of over 55 years, to be with her daughter on her wedding day.

Every day this week you will hear a different story of what is really going on. Today you will meet Kirsty, wife and mother of 2. She sent 200 emails and spent 60 hours on the phone...just to get home!

If there was only one principle you had to know to parent, this would be it! Renee unpacks the why behind obedience and discipline. You'll never parent the same again!
