Mark the Week: The maths trial results were an example of a simple truth

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. 

 

Education: 8/10 

The maths trial results this week were a tangible example of the simple truth that if you concentrate on something and work hard, you will win. 

 

The All Blacks: 6/10 

They did better than the critics seem to suggest. Rugby has changed but the attitude on expectation and winning hasn’t. This isn't 1986. 

 

Regional councils: 8/10 

Bold call, good call. We will be better off for the call. 

 

Ginny Andersen and steak: 6/10 

Who had her down as a surreptitious food stealer? 

 

Rachel Reeves: 2/10 

Have a look at her work on taxes and ask yourself how far-removed Barbara Edmonds is - or isn't. 

 

Surrender by Thursday: 4/10 

Wasn't that yet another harebrained thought bubble by a bloke who looks increasingly unhinged, or tired, or old, or mad. Or possibly all of those things.

and current events that is as exciting as getting twenty
two percent of something you don't need on Black Friday.
Education eight math trial results this week retangible example of
the simple truth that if you concentrate on something and

Are the All Black six rated better than the critics

so called critics. If you haven't seen it, give it ago.
Rachel Reeves too, I know how worried families are about

(01:28):
the cost of everything. Have a look at her work
on Texas and ask yourself how far removed Barbara Edmonds
is or isn't speaking of labor? Michael Woods three, I mean, honestly,
people who can't stay away, they've got a whiff about them,
don't they surrender? By Thursday four? I'm not like those
