Judges’ comments:
“Gina transported listeners into the tense world of Redfern’s St Vincent de Paul Catholic Church prior to the abolition of ‘The Block’ in Redfern. She drew surprising confessions from those she interviewed, producing a powerful community portrait reflective of the broader schisms within the Catholic church.”
