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 - Thursdays
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.
