Prime Minister’s Literary Awards 2025 winners announced

The frontline nurses who cared for HIV/AIDS patients in the 1980s and 90s when their own families sometimes abandoned them, and who also helped shape Australia’s response to the AIDS pandemic; a new novel by one of Australia’s most celebrated writers which weaves fiction, essay and memoir into a new form; and a forensic examination and excoriation of the Federal Government-designed robodebt campaign, which harmed our most vulnerable citizens instead of aiding them, are among the winners of the 2025 Prime Minister’s Literary Awards.
