Judges’ comments:
“Sensitive, compassionate and beautifully shot, Mridula Amin’s ‘The hidden park of last resort’ is a wonderful human story well told. Gaining the trust of the residents and demonstrating a non-judgemental approach to her reporting, Amin’s investigation empowered the community to fight for their homes inside one of Sydney’s last long-term caravan parks.”
