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. 

 

Education: 8/10 

The maths trial results this week were a tangible example of the simple truth that if you concentrate on something and work hard, you will win. 

 

The All Blacks: 6/10 

They did better than the critics seem to suggest. Rugby has changed but the attitude on expectation and winning hasn’t. This isn't 1986. 

 

Regional councils: 8/10 

Bold call, good call. We will be better off for the call. 

 

Ginny Andersen and steak: 6/10 

Who had her down as a surreptitious food stealer? 

 

Rachel Reeves: 2/10 

Have a look at her work on taxes and ask yourself how far-removed Barbara Edmonds is - or isn't. 

 

Surrender by Thursday: 4/10 

Wasn't that yet another harebrained thought bubble by a bloke who looks increasingly unhinged, or tired, or old, or mad. Or possibly all of those things.
