The Briefing

Will Covid flip the long-running trend in Australian break-ups?


Listen Later

The divorce rate has been in decline in Australia for the last twenty years, but Covid has changed all that.

 

In this Briefing, we’re joined by Jack Whelan, cofounder of The Seperation Guide who tells an astonishing story about the increase in people trying to find out how to break free from their relationships.    Laura Smith, a mother who recently split with her husband, tells us about the pressure Covid placed on her relationship and why her husband decided to walk out on her and her daughter.

 

Has Covid flipped the long-running trend in divorce rates in Australia…?
