Mark the Week: They’ve blown this for us and the economy

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Mondays

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 Reserve Bank: 2/10 "The important issue of the week. The facts, now laid bare, show they’ve blown this for us and the economy. The bailout has begun to the tune of $9 billion and counting. What's not to review?"   David Seymour: 6/10 "Most sensible political point of the week. He wouldn’t have indemnified the Reserve Bank when they printed money. Grant Robertson knew better and look where that got us. At least $150 million a month, every month for five years."   The Green Party Leadership Vote: 2/10 "What a staggeringly ill-conceived and hair brained cock up. Who is the candidate? Hello? Anyone home? Hello, did anyone think about a plan?"   Christopher Luxon's Te Puke/Hawaii Drama: 4/10 "He was let down by a media team that should have known better on a day when he wanted to talk about more important issues."   Commonwealth Games: 6/10 "To be honest, I'm not gripped. The games have an invented competition feel about it But good sport is good sport and winning is always cool."   Ian Foster and the All Blacks' Changes: 7/10 "Sacrificial lambs were offered. Can we get off his case now?"   Liam Lawson: 8/10 "Great weekend in France where he won another race. He's another step closer to the F1 dream."   The Weather: 2/10 "Aren't we sick of it?"   LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEWSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
