King's Birthday Honours: How it works - and how can you get involved
The Front Page - A podcast by NZ Herald
The country woke up this morning to news that former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern had been declared a Dame. She is just one of 182 people from across a range of industries being recognised in today's Kings Birthday Honours, on a list that includes rugby coaches, armed service personnel, medical pioneers, and Queen Camilla. But how does the honours system work and who gets to make the call about who gets knighted? To help us make sense of all the honours and understand how they’re awarded, Damien is joined by Secretary of Cabinet Rachel Hayward who helps organise the lists twice a year.
