Show Notes
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: 7/10
He floated and made a fortune and got a bond reduction with more time to pay. Stormy turned out to be a bit of an issue, but all in all he's had worse weeks.
The Chinese: 3/10
The US, the UK and New Zealand all say essentially the same thing and the Chinese deny it all. It redefines the term 'high farce'.
The Russians: 3/10
ISIS blow up a hall, kill people and get arrested. The Americans told them about it, but still it’s a Ukrainian conspiracy?
Princess Kate: 8/10
Done sadly for the wrong reasons, given she got flushed out a bit, but an astonishing piece of raw emotion that hopefully made the conspiracy peddlers and jokesters sick to their stomachs.
Russell Coutts: 7/10
Hero of the week. He laid it out plain and simple and told a few home truths.
The budget update: 4/10
Man, do we need the money. This lot really have inherited the most astonishing fiscal incompetence.
The Warriors: 7/10
We are underway. Beating the top side in the competition is but a sign of things to come.
