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 PREFU.
3/10.
"The border was the shocker, wasn’t it?
Yes, the numbers are a mess, and yes its going on for longer than we thought, but did you really have all of next year written off for borders?"
Q2 GDP.
1/10.
"We are as bad as Italy, and a world worse than Australia.
This is the “no argument no guess” price we are paying for this government's approach.
That's economic calamity."
The Wairarapa.
8/10.
"The only region in the country to grow in terms of tourism.
#magnetforholidays."
Middle Seats on Planes.
8/10.
"Probably as political as it was medical, but who cares most of this stuff has been made up anyway.
This is the sort of forward looking thinking we need a hell of a lot more of.
And hopefully it will fill some tills come the school holidays."
The Rugby Championship.
0/10.
"An astonishing cock up.
We had it, and yet through ineptitude, intransigence, and sheer bloody mindedness we blew it.
And the Australians, using a completely different mindset, are reaping the rewards."
Bledisloe Cup Tests.
7/10.
"A small element of redemption and some genuine high level sport to look forward to.
Fingers crossed actually in front of a crowd."
Labour Cancelling Fees-Free Extension.
8/10.
"Yes it’s a broken promise.
But that’s good given the idea was naff from the start, didn’t work, and therefore was a waste of money."
Jobs.
7/10.
"There are lots of them in the fields and orchards of this country. And at $25 an hour it seems astonishing they're not being filled.
Winston Peters might be right maybe foreign labour is the only answer.
Ironic the conclusion came from Peters."
