Christine Ahern of Nine Network A Current Affair has won the 2020 TV/Video Feature (Short Form) Quill.

Judges' citation

Ahern worked for weeks to lockdown interviews with whistleblowers inside the aged care catastrophe during Covid. In gaining their trust, we heard for the first time how the conditions were leading to out of control infections in the community. The emotion they conveyed gave the audience, for the first time, an insight into their ordeal. After the story aired, every carer featured in the ACA piece expressed their relief and gratitude to how their side of the story was finally told.
