MKR (1.89 million nationally) did it again, this time aided by a slide night for Sunday Night on Seven (1.44 million) and its rather amazing story on Kitty Sullivan (of The Sullivans). That out-rated The Voice on Nine (1.57 million, a solid effort) and 60 Minutes — 882,000, not so solid. 

In the morning, Insiders was an easy winner — 523,000 watched nationally and saw a masterclass of interviewing by Barrie Cassidy with Kelly O’Dwyer, the Financial Services Minister.

In regional areas MKR averaged 603,000 and topped the night, followed by Seven News with 470,000, Sunday Night with 498.000. The Voice with 463,000 was fourth, and fifth was Nine/NBN News with 406,000
