“The show made me wake up to myself,” Oldfield told WHO Magazine. “I had been quite selfish, living in this bubble. It had all been about work, work, work. I didn’t realize until the show held a mirror up to me that I wasn’t being the best wife in the world.”
Lisa says viewers can expect to see her and husband David Oldfield, a property developer who co-founded the One Nation Party with Pauline Hanson in the mid-1990s, hash out their problems on air as the season progresses.
“Listening to some of the women wax lyrical about their husbands … you know, they seemed to be getting great support at home,” she says. “For me, home wasn’t the greatest place. And it wasn’t always like that. I had initially blamed David, but once I started to talk to friends and family, they told me I had shut him out, too. The show was the impetus to understand that.”
So how, exactly, has the dynamic between the Oldfields changed? “I mean, I no longer want him dead. That has got to be a good start,” jokes Lisa.
