Chris joins Kathryn to look at this weekend's Kings Birthday awards, and the historic parity they've created for women. For the first time in five-decades the honours had an equal number of female recipients, including the three highest levels of achievement. So who received them? And an inquiry is set to get underway into the domestic violence deaths of four Aboringinal women in the Northern Territory. It seeks to explain why, despite multiple red flags and calls for help, the women were unable to be saved.
