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 Golden Visas: 7/10 

Part of what's turning out to be a pretty solid run for the Government. There seems genuine interest from the wealthy to come and park up here and grow the place. 

 

Business sales: 6/10 

Demand is up, supply is down. People want to chart their own destiny, which is always a very good sign. 

 

Coachella: 4/10 

Most people who went borrowed money to pay for their tickets. Clearly no money left over for Golden Visas. 

 

Andrew Little: 6/10 

Given Tory Whanau's reputation and record, is it even a race? 

 

The women on Bezos' rocket: 2/10 

Brought new meaning to the term space cadets. 

 

Taupo: 8/10 

Shout out for last weekend and the Supercars. Place was packed, looked awesome and Matty Payne was your hero #NZAtItsBest.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now time now to mark the week. Little piece of
news and current events is as popular as a mortgage
rate with the four at the front of it. TAPO
eight shout out for last weekend and the supercars place
was packed, place looked awesome and Maddie Paine was your hero.
Hashtag n Z at its best at the Golden Visa seven. Well, yes,
I did part of what's turning out to be a
pretty solid run for the government. This seems genuine interest

(00:22):
from the wealthy to come and park up here and
grow the place, which is good business. Sales six. Demand
is up as suppliers down. People want to chart their
own destiny. That's a very good sign with the country.
Iver'd have thought house sales this week six sales up,
listings up, prices up slow bit steady, and the trend
appear is positive and relatively consistent. So we'll take that.
At the aforementioned mortgage rates. Seven. People are just being

(00:42):
squeezed from every direction. Lending us up, investors are moving
money is at for something that's tempting, and I think
they ain't finished falling yet. Kachella four, come on now.
Most people, as it turns out, who went borrowed money
to pay for the tickets, so clearly no money left
over for a golden Viza sky TV six. One of

(01:04):
those stories that would have been covered completely differently if
it hadn't gone so well. Pregnant people seven, well biology,
sex gender one for the traditionalists from New Zealand first
this week are the women on that rocket too? I

(01:27):
crime stats seven. Mark Mitchell's done a kick ass job.
Another BaseT for the government lacks and vpters four. This
is not juvenile time. I know he's the Prime Minister.
I made him the prime minister. Breached out of the
week the media reminding us yet again there isn't a
mole hill to be found that they can't put a
ridiculous amount of energy into and trying to make themselves
a mountain. Speaking of which, are the trust in the
media survey for you know you're a fake. You know

(01:48):
that you hold network the way you cover it is fake,
mainly because the survey and the methodology was shonky. As
not that it doesn't reflect wide and dissatisfaction with the medium,
but it seemed we were the only ones who called methodology,
which ironically is one of the reasons we don't trust
the media, regurgitation of press releases with no questions asked
passes for news these days, Andrew Little six, I'll be

(02:09):
thinking about something, then something linked to that, and there
will also be a song playing in my head as well,
given the Tory reputation and records, even a race. Speaking
of Tory, her idea to attract Auckland is to Levin Wellington.
That got twelve emails. Again I ask, is it even
a race? Short weeks? I eh, we all love and
we got two That is the week copies on the

(02:30):
website and this for the school holidays only can be
