#1 The "rest" of the story was buried:

"We have been with each other on and off for over 20 years in Australia," he said.

"She's a terrific, a top cook. She looks after me and I take care of her. I couldn't find anything better.

"I'm an old-fashioned guy. I'm loving and I believe that for a marriage to work, it has to be a two-way street. She does the washing, I hang it out on the line."

The Family Court was told he had tried to track down his 1978 wife but could only find out that she had subsequently married again in 1993 in Arizona, which would have been bigamous if she had not already divorced her Australian husband.

"Other than that, no one knows where she is," the man said.

He said, now he was officially single, he planned to marry his Hawaiian girlfriend properly.
