Mark the Week: In a mess of a world, he reminds us what heroes look like

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.   NZ Rugby: 4/10 There is something that isn't quite right about the way that place operates. There's too many leaks, too much speculation and too much indecision.   Waitangi Poll: 8/10   A good reminder of the massive disconnect between the luvvies and the rest of us. 9 percent want the place called Aotearoa, 52 percent like New Zealand. No kidding.   The bonfire, the reset, the Hipkins bread and butter circus: 6/10 In the sense it did them no harm and does remove some real potential damage to the economy. But...   The politics of it: 4/10 Because it's done for the wrong reasons i.e panic and doesn’t distance them from the real crime of waste. Waste of time, waste of energy.   The Breakers: 8/10 A sporting success story in the Australasian setting that has been too long coming.   Netflix: 4/10 They've cocked this reset up and we should be insulted we are one of only four countries they are trialling it on.   Joe Biden: 6/10 He looked better than he has for a while and it looks like he's running.   Zelenskyy: 9/10   In a mess of a world he reminds us of what heroes look like. As one British headline put it from Westminster Hall - he was like a king in front of a bunch of pygmies.   LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEWSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
