Mark the Week: James Meager is the star of the week

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.    The Government: 7/10   Underway at last and a very solid start. A lot of intent, a lot of promises and a lot of energy.     Parliament: 6/10  Underway at last, almost two months since voting day. Politics moves about as fast as justice.     James Meager: 8/10  Universally seen as the star of the week with that speech. The trick now is to live up to the words.    The Auditor General's election audit: 3/10  When you have to investigate counting you know we are not up to much.     PISA results: 2/10  What a disgrace. What an abject, intergenerational failure and what a shocking way to deal with our kids.     Singapore: 8/10  The good news is they have the answer and they are like us, except with their act together. So the model is right there.     Tohu Harris: 8/10  Yes, Beaudy is good but Harris is the man. And with Harris you know it means next year is our year.    Golf: 4/10  New balls that don’t go as far. Talk about killing the fun.     LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
