Mark the Week: 15% tariffs are the biggest blow of the week

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. 

 

Sheds: 8/10 

The new garden shed rules are what good governance should be about – simple and common sense. How hard can it be? 

 

Local body elections: 4/10 

Nominations close and, once again, a whole bunch of races are not being run because we don’t have enough candidates. 

 

15% tariffs: 1/10 

Biggest blow of the week in an economy that needs it like a hole in the head. 

 

Coal: 7/10 

Good cooperation with the gentailers, some cold, hard reality at last, and a good kick in the pants for the idiots who closed the oil and gas. 

 

Downtown Auckland: 3/10 

Wake up call of the week from the real estate bloke who said we look more like Suva than Sydney. Ouch. 

 

Jobs: 4/10 

Because the simple truth is this aint over. There is more where that came from in a year that was supposed to be showing real signs of recovery.
