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.   

 

Consumers: 7/10 

Confidence at a 6-month high. 

 

School lunches: 3/10

This is the stupidest story of the week. Four days it lasted – we've become myopic. We fixate on triviality. It’s got a small village idiot vibe to it, don’t you reckon?  

 

Social media ban: 6/10

Mainly for effort, because it’s not real, it’s not practical – it’s got idealism all over it.  

 

Pete Hegseth: 3/10 

Between the narco boats and the Signal report, what odds are you running that he doesn’t make Christmas?  

 

Rates caps: 7/10 

Move of the week from the central government.  If local government just stopped whining for a moment and asked themselves who the architects of the mess actually are and why, they might not have as much to moan about.
