At the same time the divorce rate declined for the second year in succession. The marriage rate trend has been in a long-term decline and the divorce rate in a long-term upward trend. However it is too early to say whether the 1998 changes will continue. For further information see Marriages and Divorces, Australia, 1998 (Catalogue No. 3310.0, $27).
