Mark the Week: They couldn’t have made a bigger disruptive mess if they set up a specialist disruptive mess committee

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.   Ian Foster: 7/10 Good on him for speaking out.   New Zealand Rugby: 3/10 They couldn’t have made a bigger disruptive mess if they set up a specialist disruptive mess committee.   Maureen Pugh: 6/10 Because, although she is a bit out to lunch, she spoke her mind and guess what? She's allowed to without the luvvies hitting the cancel button.   Adrian Orr: 6/10 Because in his own way, he sort of called the Government out on spending and sort of called the banks out on margins.   Air NZ: 7/10 They are profitable again. Yes, we pay too much for a ticket, but they’ve gone through hell and back, they owe a fortune, it ain’t over yet - and it’s imperative we have a healthy national airline.   Puffin: 2/10 When you think you can arbitrarily rewrite books for the sake of being woke, the world is in a bad place.   Truancy: 6/10 Because it’s a crack at the problem, but it’s not new and it didn't work last time.   Super Rugby: 6/10 Because the new rules around clocks and the TMO will improve the game.   The Breakers: 8/10 Because they are on their way to the final. They are the sports turnaround story of the year and boy do we need all the uplifting examples of winners we can get right now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
