The Mike Hosking Breakfast - Un pódcast de Newstalk ZB - Martes
There's hopes new legislation helps ease the often rocky path of divorce for abuse victims. A bill passed by Parliament means survivors can end their marriages if they have a protection order against their spouse. The Bill's nicknamed 'Ashley's Law', and is championed by Ashley Jones. Jones told Mike Hosking she didn't expect it to be passed unanimously, and can't believe she was fundamental in changing a law. She said it’s a huge reminder that one voice can make a change, and if you fight hard enough you can change things you think are not right.
