divorce rate (1 Viewer)

[Jago]

can anyone show me an article/survey where it states the (most) current divorce rate? I heard it's just over 50%, but i can't find anything to back me up on it.

Edit: all i have is

http://www.smh.com.au/text/articles/2005/09/28/1127804532150.html

"Some 200,000 Australians marry each year, this series tells us in its opening frames. Of those unions, an extraordinary 43 per cent will fail. Generally, it's all downhill from there."

yeah i saw that, it just says the crude divorce rate

Edit: using those figures it calculates to about 54%. I'm looking for an article which would corroborate the crude figures, something with 2004-2005 would be preferable
