Mark the Week: Luxon stared them down again

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. 

Christopher Luxon: 8/10 

Stared them down, again, and they folded like an umbrella. 

Chris Penk: 1/10 

Not only did he get sucked in in the first place, he paid the ultimate price for a flop. 

Chris Bishop: 2/10 

He can say what he likes, but we know. 

Erica Stanford: 3/10 

She can say what she likes, if she was saying anything at all. Let's put it this way; if they ran the country like they ran a coup, we'd really be in trouble. 

Hipkins in Rotorua: 3/10 

"Emergency housing got a bit out of control." Did it Chris? Honestly. And no apology? The guy is a robot. 

Trump in the food delivery truck: 8/10 

And he takes Hegseth but leaves Rubio, Miller, and Bessent on board the old one with the blinds down. Who needs enemies?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Time now to marke the week. The little piece of
news and current of incidence and well increasing numbers of
people are suggesting was Thomas Coglin's anonymous source Luxon eight.
We've done a cack cass job getting this thing together.
Stared them down again and they folded like an umbrella.
Chris pink One. Not only did he get sucked in
in the first place, he paid the ultimate price for
a flop. Chris Bishop too. He can say what he likes.

(00:23):
Eric is stan for three. She can say what she
likes if she says anything at all. Let's put it
this way. If they ran the country like they ran
the coup, we'd really be in trouble. New Zealander's reaction
to yet another display of self centered arrogance an appalling
lack of loyalty one see my sense of it. Say
whatever you want about Luxon, but he works hard. He's
there for the right reasons, and New Zealanders aren't into

(00:44):
self absorbed nastiness. It is not who we are. The
Warrior is known in some respects a complete season. It's
done needed at God, at Panthers too. The Sword next
stop minor Premiership exactly. Burgen Bread four. The pink of bread,
standard and poors eight upgrade at our GDP. That's the

(01:04):
stuff we should be embracing. You see, the country's actually moving.
Spending seven, speaking of which material gains and discretionary in
general spending two banks now just this week with numbers
that don't lie Delmore four twelve one hundred houses and
shipping out the wastewater and the trucks. Is that our

(01:27):
vision of a housing future? The Opportunity the Opportunity Party six.
I know what you try, I know what you try
and do there, Glenn, the Opportunity Party six. One proper
poll were you might believe the fireplus numbers. I mean
they could be real, There could be momentum. The question
is it's sticky. Why to hang you? Tribunal four? The
report is complete. It has not gone to cabinet. It

(01:49):
may not go to cabinet. You know why because I
think they've worked out we won't like what it says,
and that's another headache they don't need in an election campaign.
National Party's fiscal guard rail six. I mean, as any
dear pre Coude not a bad one, but who remembers
that now? Ah Hipkins and roder Earth three, Emergency Housing
got a bit out of control of it. It Chris,
honestly and no apology. Guys. A robot Trump in the

(02:12):
food delivery.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Truck eight, I know what the hell I'm doing, And
he takes Heckseth and he leaves Rubio, Miller and Bessent
on board, the old one with the blinds down.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Who needs enemies? He and that's the Week. Copies on
the website and rumors that Thrive Capital have made an
offer for forty percent of Marking the Week, valuing it
at eighteen billion aren't totally true. For more from the
