Single, female, homeless: Australia's shameful crisis
Sharon Bradley's poignant February 2020 cover story addresses the fastest-growing cohort of homeless people in Australia - older women - and explores how their lives are increasingly tipped into destitution following an unexpected life event. Sharon is then joined in conversation by Good Weekend deputy editor, Anne Hyland, and a special guest - former PR queen Glen-Marie Frost, who went from society doyenne to public housing tenant. Frost was profiled by Good Weekend senior writer Jane Cadzow in May 2020, and now supports an initiative aimed at alleviating homelessness in older women. Discussion starts at: 37:00.
