The 60 Minutes program came after a months-long investigation, and revealed how bikies, criminals and underworld figures had infiltrated the building industry, including on large publicly funded projects.
The Building Bad Team is Nick McKenzie from The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald and 60 Minutes, David Marin-GuÞman from The Australian Financial Review, Ben Schneiders from The Age, Garry McNab and Amelia Ballinger from 60 Minutes, and Reid Butler from Nine News.

Judges’ comments:

“This was a sustained and surgical journalistic operation on a malignant public scandal. Exhaustive research, trust building and a compelling array of interviews, secret recordings and surveillance recordings were distilled into a startling expo. Few stories have such swift and stunning consequences.”
