About the 2016 nomination
Louise's powerful investigation for the ABC's 7:30 program focused on the mistreatment of young people with disability by institutions tasked with their care and protection. It revealed disturbing evidence of young people being locked up, secluded and abused, including cases in which young people had been held in a lockable box and a student had been left to sit outdoors all day in winter for a whole school term.
