Well done, excellent woman. Every person in an aged care home, or who is going to end up in one, owes you big time
The winner is @anneconnollyabc of @abcnews & @abc730 for her Aged Care Sector investigation. This series of reports across TV, Radio & Online were critical in triggering a Royal Commission. Anne’s tenacity & fearlessness are in the true Graham Perkin tradition. Congratulations!

The Murdoch Party & their 3 favourite far-right Liberals. The Courier/Sunday Mail is the Committee to Re-elect The Much Misunderstood Dutton. The Daily Telegraph to Defend Abbott. The Australian to Re-elect ScoMo. How can these editors even pretend to be journalists?
