Mark the Week: Ardern was famous for doing nothing around discipline and I am astonished Hipkins wants to match her

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Wednesdays

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.   Scott Robertson: 8/10 A shambles of a process but the best bloke got the job he deserved.   Stuart Nash: 3/10 Not so much a repeat offender, more of a serial offender and unbelievably he is still in cabinet. But then that’s not on him.   Chris Hipkins: 4/10 No, it's on him. Ardern was famous for doing nothing around discipline and I am astonished Hipkins wants to match her.   Electric charging hubs: 7/10 And in this brain fart lies the trouble. Michael Wood spews forth a thought bubble, it has no cost or timeframe so therefore it isn't happening. Yet it's reported as news.   Auckland Airport: 7/10 At least their idea has, 1) a cost, 2) a timeframe and, 3) a picture, so you can see what it's going to look like.   The Warriors: 8/10 This lot look like the real deal. Andrew Webster might well be the magic. Hold on - could this be our year?   New Zealand: 7/10 We're the 10th happiest place in the world, which either makes the world fairly miserable or us in a coma of disorientation.   Posie Parker: 7/10 She got more publicity than she ever could have dreamed of.     Pies: 2/10 Goodman Fielder are laying people off in Palmerston and Oamaru because they're exiting pies. When you don’t make pies in New Zealand you may as well turn the lights out.   LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEWSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
