Mark the Week: The Greens shouldn't be let near a calculator

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 Budget: 7/10

In totality she did quite a lot with next to nothing and the intent and messaging, I hope, gave hope. Because boy do we need hope. Oh, and also a surplus.

The Green's budget: 1/10

They shouldn’t even be allowed near a calculator. When nurses get pay cuts because of tax you know you are dealing with nutters.

The Privileges Committee debate: 6/10

Because at last the committee came to the party on rule breaking and at least attempted to right the egregious mess the place has become.

The Warriors: 8/10

They just keep on winning. And this weekend at home against the Raiders - what a lip-smacker!

The Golden Dome: 6/10

Is it even real? Can you build a dome in three years and, if you can, how come we can't build a road in that time?

Smith & Caugheys: 2/10

That is what arrogance, incompetence, blind ideology and lack of vision does for a city.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Time now to make the week little piece of news
and current offense. It's as popular as Peter's stand off
on a Wellington railway platform a New Zealand inc. Seven.
All in all, a pretty good week. I mean the
export receipts, the trade balance, the Kipi fruit numbers. There's
still a decent chunk of the joint operating pretty well,
if not brilliantly. Are the Green's budget one? They shouldn't
need to be allowed near a calculator. When nurses get

(00:21):
pay cuts because of their tax regime, you know you're
dealing with nutters. Are the real budgets? Seven? In totality,
she did quite a lot with next to nothing, and
the intent and messaging I hope gave hope and boy
do we need hope? Oh and also a surplus are
the privileges debate? Six? Because at last the committee came
to the party on rule breaking and at least attempted

(00:42):
to write the egregious mess The place has become Chris
Biship seven out of nowhere on the ensuing debate. Genius
are the Warriors? Eight? Yeah, they just keep on winning
and at home against the Raiders. What a lip smack
of this weekend when we beat the Raiders, we're going
to be top of the table, literally top of the
table coalition in Australia. One. I mean good. You can't

(01:05):
overstate how big this is set up in the twenties
for theness sake, and to watch it all fall apart
the way it did this week in one day, that
was major. It was a big day in Australian political history.
More from Murray later not to mention the effect that
the labor would clearly produced across the political spectrum. Now
the Golden Dome. Six, we will have the best system
ever felt? Is it even real? I mean, can you

(01:25):
build the dome in three years? And if you can,
how come we can't build a road in that time?
Are the US credit down grade? Three? This is the
I mean, this too might be historic if the fundamental
shift away from America and the belief in it is real.
And it seems to me run it straight. Five, I
mean I'm nonplus it seems a bit idiotic, but then
so does Love Island. The sum across too, couple of

(01:47):
wining locals and the Council's suddenly got money in time
for survey. I mean, get real. The FMA one, a
twenty one day workers Survey questionnaire. Day after day after
day after day after day, get real, Ardie Sabia nine.
Imagine if he played for the Warriors, Smith and Coey's two.
That is what Arrogan's and competence, blind ideology and lack

(02:10):
of vision does for a city Auckland Council Radio ratings
Radio ratings eight. It would appear results release yesterday indicate
this particular program might have got a few numbers that
made people go, can that guy get any bigger and better?
Or words to that effect. That's the week copies of
the website and if you look closely at this week's
pecuniary interest list one, MP declared they had been gifted

(02:32):
four hundred of these. For more from the Mike Asking Breakfast,
