PerthNow reported on 29 September 2023 that Erin Britton had left Australia for a six-month overseas safari and dropped her husband’s surname. The report attributed those details to the Daily Mail and unnamed local sources; it did not provide direct confirmation from Erin or an official record of a legal name change.
What the September 2023 report said
PerthNow’s 29 September 2023 article said Erin Britton had left Australia for a six-month overseas safari after the revelations about her husband, Adam Britton. It also said she had dropped his surname. The article attributed the central travel and surname claims to Daily Mail reporting, rather than to a statement from Erin or an official record.

PerthNow also quoted a tradesman who had worked on the couple’s property, saying she had ended the marriage and left, and a hotel worker in Humpty Doo expressing sympathy for her. Those accounts are statements reported by the newspaper; they do not establish Erin’s legal marital status, legal name, or current whereabouts.
What the report does not confirm
- A formal legal name change: The article said she had changed or dropped her surname, but the available account does not establish that she completed a legal name change.
- Her current location: The report described a six-month trip overseas in 2023. It does not establish where she is now or whether she remains outside Australia.
- Her present relationship status: A source quoted by PerthNow said she had ended the marriage, but the report does not provide direct confirmation from Erin or an official record establishing her current status.
What the court record establishes
The Supreme Court of the Northern Territory’s transcript, The King and Adam Britton (Sentence), records a sentencing proceeding in Darwin on 8 August 2024, before Chief Justice Grant. It establishes the date and nature of that proceeding; it does not verify the 2023 claims about Erin’s travel or surname. Read the sentencing transcript.
#1 Best Overall
The court’s Library Databases page describes its judgments database as an index of decisions and notes that sentencing remarks may be available in cases where an accused is found guilty. The existence of that database does not establish the spouse-related claims in PerthNow’s report.

The headline’s words “flees” and “changes name” go beyond what can be independently confirmed from the sources available here. The careful conclusion is narrower: PerthNow reported that Erin Britton had left Australia for a six-month safari and dropped her husband’s surname, citing Daily Mail reporting and unnamed local sources. The report does not independently verify a formal name change, her present location, or her current relationship status.
