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

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

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.
