Mark the Week: A sad, but classic, example of all that is wrong with the modern world.

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all.   Fair Pay Agreements: 3/10 "The unions look like they are winning."   The Health System: 3/10 "It's an example of one of those crises the Prime Minister should be attending to, rather than being in Antarctica, given the ED mess these past few weeks. I don't know how long Andrew Little can keep saying it's not the full-blown meltdown it so obviously is."   EV Feebate Scheme: 4/10 "There is no, can be no, and has never been a defence for subsidising people who have $75,000 for a car."   Rishi Sunak: 8/10 "Looks the goods and got there in the end."   Joe Biden: 4/10 "He said to judge him on his vigour. I think that’s actually the problem. Because they are."   Netball Australia's Sponsorship Saga: 1/10 "A sad, but classic, example of all that is wrong with the modern world. It's a world where your job is less important than the virtue you're currently signalling and where selfishness beats team work. It's a disease that, as they found out, is very material."   Cruises: 7/10 "Back for the summer after far too long. And with it a sense of some normality and cash."   Adrian Rurawhe as Speaker: 7/10 "No, watching Parliament isn't for everyone. But what a sparkling improvement he is over Trevor Mallard."   Report into Kid's Physical Activity: 6/10 "A good example of how the media only goes for headlines these days. The bit about dropping kids wasn’t actually the full story. The full story was, in fact, a good story. We are 9th in the world in terms of health and activity. But to know that you had to actually read the full story."   Rugby: 6/10 "Mixed week, the Black Ferns/All Blacks clash is not a good look in a world falling over itself trying to promote equality. But the First XV broadcasting call might be a bit over the top."   LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEWSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
