Mark the Week: The All Blacks look confident

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB

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 process of elections: 2/10  Surely we have collectively decided this week that three weeks is nutty. The Electoral Commission have some answers to produce and it can't be as hard and slow as they make it.     The All Blacks: 8/10  I feel good, don’t you? It's not a forgone done deal, but they look good, they look confident, and they look a lot better than when we all decided they weren't up to much.     Andrew Webster: 8/10  A three-year extension for one of the best coaches we have seen in years.     Houses: 6/10  Banks doors are open, apparently, to lower deposits - plus prices are rising and investors are bullish.     Squid Game: 4/10  A real-life version of the movie on Netflix? Normally it's a movie of real life.     Eight hour working day: 5/10  Fewer and fewer of us actually work eight hours. It seems work is all a bit hard for a growing number of us. What happened to work being fun and good for us?     Donald Trump: 2/10  How many of his people have to turn and cut a deal before he is crushed under the weight of it?     The rugby expansion: 7/10  The North/South thing I like, the World Cup changes are a waste of time    LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
