Here’s the latest work from ABC Online Investigations. It’s a look at the Western Sydney community of Mt Druitt, and what can be done to prevent kids living in troubled communities from slipping through the cracks. Investigations Editor Suzanne Smith, Multimedia Producer Eleanor Bell and myself worked for most of the last month on this one, along with the ABC News Online design team in Brisbane. We’re all pretty proud of the work, so check it out!
