About this episode
Shenane Hogg spent nine months in a coma after suffering abuse at the hands of her partner.
During her recovery, she discovered her abuser had amassed $56,000 of debt in her name.
Shenane’s story is just one of many that was heard at a parliamentary inquiry into how the financial system can be used to abuse women.
The inquiry has heard chilling evidence of a sharp rise in financial abuse that can manifest as offensive and threatening messages in streams of bank transfers, raiding of a partner’s super benefits, or making them liable for joint debts.
Today, chief political correspondent for The Saturday Paper Karen Barlow on the cost of financial abuse, and why we’re failing to prevent it.
