Mark the Week: So popular, until she was so unpopular

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.   Donald Trump: 6/10 On balance, given how mad the world is these days, his legal troubles have more upside than not. And what does that say about division?   Jacinda Ardern: 6/10 It's one of the stranger periods of our political story. So popular, until she was so unpopular. She had a lot of promise that shone brightly, but only briefly, and that starkness says as much about us as it does about her.   Sanna Marin: 4/10 Proof that being adored by the media and being lapped up internationally doesn’t actually count if the locals don’t like you.   The Warriors: 8/10 This is a different side, Shaun Johnson is renewed, if not reborn, and Andrew Webster is the man. This is our year!   The Reserve Bank: 4/10 Whoops. What 25?! Take that 50 point rise and learn your lesson. It is now abundantly clear we have cocked this up. The maniacal approach to borders and mandates and rules and dictatorial behaviour has a price, and it looks to be higher than others.   Paris: 7/10 They're voting to ban e-scooters. Is that the most productive thing they’ve done all year?   Asa Hutchinson: 6/10 Good on him for giving it a crack. But is that the first and last time you will hear the name Asa Hutchinson between now and the end of next year?   LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEWSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
