Mark the Week: We got a new All Blacks coach at last

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 war: 6/10 

As much as you want to give a war a number, this is not World War III, it is not going to last four years. It most likely won't last four weeks. 

 

Helen Clark: 2/10 

Everything that is wrong with ideological jibber-jabber. From Hipkins to Starmer to Clark, their theory is less relevant in this modern chaotic world than ever. 

 

Dairy: 9/10 

Honestly, is it now close to being ridiculous? Five auctions from five. The protein surge is real and we are making bank. 

 

Bill “I saw nothing” Clinton: 4/10 

Overshadowed by his wife who looks as feisty as ever and, all things considered, came out of it pretty well – almost as though they were called as a political stunt. 

 

Dave Rennie: 7/10 

Got there at last. How low-key was that? Is it possible we just aren't as invested as we once were in All Black rugby?

jabba from Hipkins to starm at A Clark. Their theory
is less relevant in this modern chaotic world than ever.
Samira tug Harvey nine, my hero of the week, read
her piece in the Herald. She's an Iranian lawyer with
an argument that decimates Clark's thinking as effectively as that
sub did to the Iranian warship yesterday. Dairy nine, I mean,

The protein surge is real. We are making bank exports eight.
Not just dairy, but meat and tourism joined the big
Boys party. Mike Costkings said this morning, I think the
tourism stuff this week is the best story of the
week so far. Tourism is back. Yeah, good stuff. Who

very good month for Auckland, the biggest increase in two years.
