Anthony Dowsley and Patrick Carlyon have taken home the coveted Gold Walkley for their reporting into the Lawyer X scandal which saw them reveal the recruitment of barrister Nicola Gobbo, or Lawyer X, by Victoria Police.
The duo also won the Walkley for Investigative Journalism and for Coverage of a Major Event or Issue. Last year saw The Teacher’s Pet podcast creator Hedley Thomas take the honours.
