Mark the Week: How to kill a business in one easy lesson

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.   He Waka Eke Noa: 2/10 "How to kill business in one easy lesson. How to suck in a whole sector in in one easy lesson. And how to not sell your vision in one easy lesson."   ACT: 7/10 "Idea of the week with their referendum on co-governance. It keeps the issue alive, keeps National on its toes, appeals to a good number of voters, and puts pressure on the Government to explain themselves."   Government's Immigration Moves: 6/10 "Because the general intent seems reasonable. Execution is another matter. But the crux of this is we need more people and this, at least in theory, heads that way."   Ruapehu Alpine Lifts Going into Administration: 2/10 "You can't be a tourist destination with a whole island with no ski field. And you can't have a whole country with millions of locals having to go to the South Island. Surely there is money and a model that works?"   The Brain Drain: 3/10 "An insight into how bad our plight is. We are still going backwards. And this year it's New Zealanders leading the way."   Hong Kong: 4/10 "Half a million free tickets to get you there. It's a decent idea. But the trouble is the Chinese have wrecked the place, hence you need half a million free tickets. Before the Chinese wrecked the place, we actually went there voluntarily and happily paid. There is a lesson there."   King Charles' Coronation: 7/10 "It will be a spectacle. But on a Saturday? Come on."   The Week of the Big Reveal: 8/10 "We had Meta, Microsoft, and Dyson. From goggles, to screens, to vacuums, it's a wondrous world full of new stuff to separate you from your money."   Bathurst: 8/10 "A perfect Sunday afternoon and a New Zealander beats them all, again."   LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEWSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
