Mark the Week: New Zealand's turnaround is real

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. 

 

New Zealand: 8/10 

It really has been quite the week. From the dairy to the spending, the turnaround, without question, is real. The confidence is up and the roll could be close to being on. 

 

Kiwifruit: 9/10 

The forecast and plan released this week is a good example of how you think big when you are bullish. 

  

Mitch Barnett: 4/10 

We wish him well, obviously, but the geography of the Warriors cannot be escaped. And we get a swap. And more importantly, this is our year. 

 

Air New Zealand: 3/10 

In an industry awash with profit, they still can't find one. 

 

Cash: 7/10 

The banks are, rightly or wrongly, out of step with this one. We like cash. We may not use it all that often, but enough do. Reserve bank - 1. Retail banks - 0.
