Mark the Week: Hope you enjoyed her while she lasted

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.   Groundswell: 6/10 "Part of a growing chorus of New Zealanders who are fed up."   Gaurav Sharma: 6/10 "One of the growing number of New Zealanders who are fed up."   Hamilton West By-Election: 8/10 "I actually like voting, races and contests. This is a particularly juicy one, given the stakes."   Wayne Brown: 7/10 "Because he's out of the blocks and he's saying what those who voted for him want him to say. He looks like he might actually bring about a bit of change."   Ian Hustwick Resignation as Westland Councillor: 3/10 "I like the fact that, in quitting, he was being true to himself. I'm just a bit dismayed he hadn't quite worked out what that meant before he stood and wasted everyone's time."   Winston Peters: 5/10 "Because he's fun, likes a bet even though he doesn’t pay, and he adds spice to a race."   Inflation: 7.2/10 "As far as fiscal cock ups go, this is a prize winner. It's going to get ugly. And it's going to get ugly in election year."   Liz Truss: 1/10 "Of all the haphazard, hopelessly inadequate, meandering shambles you’ve seen this week, ain't no one touches her. Hope you enjoyed her while she lasted."   Shakespeare: 7/10 "Because ultimately he was entrenched, respected, and understood enough for people to realise that actually Maori and Pacific virtue signalling isn't a better way to spend our money when it comes to the arts."   LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEWSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
